Sinopse

The recent deaths of Philip LarkinâÇÖs friends Kingsley Amis, Monica Jones, Maeve Brennan, Jean Hartley, Judy Egerton and Ruth Bowman underline the stark reality that the future of his reputation is passing irrevocably out of the hands of those who knew him and into the hands of those who do not. The first critical monograph to benefit from the textual rigour of Archie BurnettâÇÖs landmark edition of The Complete Poems (2012), Radical Larkin is consciously addressed to a twenty-first century audience which reads his works direct, unmediated by biographical acquaintance. The volume consists of seven in-depth analyses of the techniques Larkin used to createá11 of his âÇÖgreatest hitsâÇÖ, namely, A Girl in Winter, âÇÖLines on a Young LadyâÇÖs Photograph Album,âÇÖ, âÇÖAt GrassâÇÖ, âÇÖMarch PastâÇÖ, âÇÖChurch GoingâÇÖ, âÇÖAn Arundel TombâÇÖ, âÇÖThe Whitsun WeddingsâÇÖ, âÇÖThis Be The VerseâÇÖ, âÇÖThe Card-PlayersâÇÖ, âÇÖVers de SociétéâÇÖ and âÇÖAubadeâÇÖ.
