    THE NOVELS AND THE POETRY OF PHILIP LARKIN by JOAN SHEILA MAYNE B.A., University of Hull, 1962 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF M .A. in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1968 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his represen• tatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of English The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada April 26, 1968 ii THESIS ABSTRACT Philip Larkin has been considered primarily in terms of his contribution to the Movement of the Fifties; this thesis considers Larkin as an artist in his own right. His novels, Jill and A Girl in Winter, and his first volume of poetry, The North Ship, have received very little critical attention. Larkin's last two volumes of poetry, The Less Deceived and The Whitsun Weddings, have been considered as two very similar works with little or no relation to his earlier work. This thesis is an attempt to demonstrate that there is a very clear line of development running through Larkin's work, in which the novels play as important a part as the poetry.

  • OXFORD Devised by Clemence Schultze, D.Phil., and Thomas Sopko
    A BARBARA PYM WALK THROUGH OXFORD Devised by Clemence Schultze, D.Phil., and Thomas Sopko And that sweet city with her dreaming spires She needs not June for beauty’s heightening, Lovely all times she lies, lovely to-night! – Matthew Arnold Through a rift in the trees he caught his first real glimpse of Oxford – in that ineffectual moonlight an underwater city, its towers and spires standing ghostly, like the memo- rials of lost Atlantis, fathoms deep. – Edmund Crispin [1] Numbers in square brackets correspond to the numbers on the map. THE STARTING POINT IS THE ENTRANCE OF ST HILDA’S COLLEGE ON COWLEY PLACE [1] St Hilda’s is the college of novelists D. K. Broster and Catherine Heath, poets Jenny Joseph and Wendy Cope, and detective fiction writer Val McDermid. It was founded in 1893 by Dorothea Beale – educational reformer, suffragist, and Principal of the Cheltenham Ladies’ College – and it remained an all-women’s col- lege until 2008, making it the last single-sex college in the University of Oxford. When Barbara was a student here in the 1930s the college buildings comprised Hall and South Buildings (the former described below) and a ‘temporary’ wooden Chapel (1925-1969) located where Garden Building now stands. South Building was originally a family house named Cowley Grange, built in the 1870s by Christ Church chemistry tutor Augustus Vernon Harcourt. From 1902-1920 it was a women's teacher training college called Cherwell Hall; St Hilda’s obtained the leasehold in 1920 and purchased the building outright in 1949. During the 1950s the former Milham Ford School building, located between Hall and South, was purchased, the kitchens and dining hall were expanded, and the Prin- cipal’s House and a Porters’ Lodge constructed.

  • Ull History Centre: Papers of Philip Arthur Larkin
    Hull History Centre: Papers of Philip Arthur Larkin U DPL Papers of Philip Arthur Larkin 1816-1992 Biographical Background: The Young Writer, 1922 - 1947 Philip Arthur Larkin was born in the Coventry suburb of Radford on 9 August 1922, the only son and younger child of Sydney and Eva Larkin. His father was City Treasurer of Coventry from 1922 to 1944. When Philip was five the family moved to a large detached house called 'Penvorn' on Manor Road, close to the city centre, and from the age of eight he attended King Henry VIII School. The school reports which survive from this time show that Larkin was a solid rather than an outstanding student with a flair for English Literature and a loathing of rugby [DPL2/3/63c]. Equally intriguing are the reading lists which shaped his study and prepared him for the first class English Literature degree he was to receive from Oxford University in 1943. Of more importance to him at this time were his friendships with fellow pupils including James Sutton, Ernie Roe, Frank Smith and Colin Gunner. In his introduction to Colin Gunner's book Adventures with the Irish Brigade (1975) Larkin describes the pleasure he and his schoolfriend had in investing schoolboy reality with the glamour of fiction. He recalled 'the grins exchanged when the master in charge innocently made some remark that chimed with the Dickensian, or Rowlandsonian, lifestyle we had devised for him'. Similarly, the evidence of the Larkin/Sutton letters, held elsewhere in the Library's archives, suggests that modern writers, such as Woolf, Mansfield, D.H.
