Philip Larkin

As a prominent member of the Movement, that group of poets that followed and seemed to reverse the innovations of Modernism, Larkin has often been construed as a reactionary poet, especially in light of his controversial political views. By close reading his published collections, as well as some of his less well-known work, this course aims to complicate these long-established ideas, considering the diversity of Larkin’s achievement and weighing up, along the way, the question of poetry’s relation to history and politics.
