These correspondences help tell the story of how Larkin came to be the writer and the man he was: to his father Sydney, a 'conservative anarchist' and admirer of Hitler, who died relatively early in Larkin's life; to his timid depressive mother Eva, who by contrast, lived long, and whose final years were shadowed by dementia; and to his sister Kitty, the sparse surviving fragment of whose correspondence with her brother gives an enigmatic glimpse of a complex and intimate relationship- But it was the years during which he and his sister looked after their mother in particular that shaped the writer we know so well: a number of poems written over this time are for her, and the mood of pain, shadow and despondency that characterises his later verse draws its strength from his experience of the long, lonely years of her senility.

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.

  • Money: Cultural Transactions Between Philip Larkin and Martin Amis
    Money, ‘Money’, Money: Cultural Transactions between Philip Larkin and Martin Amis PETER MARKS Philip Larkin was far more important to Martin Amis than Martin Amis was to Philip Larkin. Larkin appears more frequently in Experience, the first volume of Amis’ autobiography, than any writer other than the author’s father, Kingsley, and the person who might be thought of as his surrogate father, Saul Bellow. A photo in Experience shows Larkin, slightly menacing, standing in front of a bookcase, the caption reading simply, ‘Larkin’; the poet in this context needs no further introduction. (By way of comparison, a group photograph has Robert Graves’ full name). Larkin features repeatedly in Amis’ critical writing, for example in The War Against Cliché, where he earns his own titled section – only Nabokov and Updike receive the same star treatment. Amis’ extended defence of Larkin, ‘The Ending: Don Juan in Hull’, appears there, having been first published in the New Yorker in 1993. Amis also wrote the Larkin obituary for Vanity Fair, reproducing it later in his collection of journalism, Visiting Mrs Nabokov and Other Excursions. And the Martin Amis Website has a section on Larkin under the page titled ‘Affinities’, which ‘features links to writers with important connections to Amis’. There, Amis gets classified a ‘Larkinholic’, a term neither he nor Larkin would have liked. Yet in Selected Letters of Philip Larkin Amis barely gets a walk-on part, and then chiefly because he is Kingsley Amis’ son. Admittedly, this epistolary absence depends on Amis having lost many of the letters Larkin sent him, but the sketch Larkin produces of Amis in these letters is tellingly faint.

  • Yorkshire Poetry, 1954-2019: Language, Identity, Crisis
    YORKSHIRE POETRY, 1954-2019: LANGUAGE, IDENTITY, CRISIS Kyra Leigh Piperides Jaques, BA (Hons) and MA, (Hull) PhD University of York English & Related Literature October 2019 This work was supported by the Arts & Humanities Research Council (grant number AH/L503848/1) through the White Rose College of the Arts & Humanities. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the writing of a large selection of twentieth- and twenty-first- century East and West Yorkshire poets, making a case for Yorkshire as a poetic place. The study begins with Philip Larkin and Ted Hughes, and concludes with Simon Armitage, Sean O’Brien and Matt Abbott’s contemporary responses to the EU Referendum. Aside from arguing the significance of Yorkshire poetry within the British literary landscape, it presents poetry as a central form for the region’s writers to represent their place, with a particular focus on Yorkshire’s languages, its identities and its crises. Among its original points of analysis, this thesis redefines the narrative position of Larkin and scrutinizes the linguistic choices of Hughes; at the same time, it identifies and explains the roots and parameters of a fascinating new subgenre that is emerging in contemporary West Yorkshire poetry. This study situates its poems in place whilst identifying the distinct physical and social geographies that exist, in different ways, throughout East and West Yorkshire poetry. Of course, it interrogates the overarching themes that unite the two regions too, with emphasis on the political and historic events that affected the region and its poets, alongside the recurring insistence of social class throughout many of the poems studied here.

Langley Hugh MacDiarmid L ETTER FROM THE E DITOR As this catalogue goes to press, I’m editing New Poetries V, an introductory anthology of work by writers several of whom will publish Carcanet first collections in coming years. They come from the round earth’s imagined corners – from Singapore and Stirling, Cape Town and Cambridge, Dublin and Washington – and from England. They share a vocation for experimenting with form, tone and theme. From India, Europe and America a Collected Poems by Sujata Bhatt, and from South Africa and Yorkshire a new collection by Carola Luther, indicate the geographical scope of the Carcanet list. For eight years readers have waited to accompany Eavan Boland on her critical Journey with Two Maps: in April, at last we set out. We also encounter an anthology of British surrealism that changes our take on the tradition. Translation, classic and contemporary, remains at the heart of our reading. John Ashbery’s embodiment of Rimbaud’s Illuminations is his most ambitious translation project since his versions of Pierre Martory. Fawzi Karim from Iraq, Toon Tellegen from the Netherlands, the Gawain Poet from Middle English and Natalia Gorbanevskaya from Russia explore historical, allegorical and legendary landscapes and bring back trophies… And from America, a first European edition of the most recent US Poet Laureate, Kay Ryan.

After some time a work of the above poets was published with the name 'New Lines Anthology' by ROBERT CONQUEST.” 2 • Deeply English in outlook, the Movement was a gathering of poets including Philip Larkin, Kingsley Amis, Elizabeth Jennings, Thom Gunn, John Wain, D J Enright and Robert Conquest. Many of the group were academics, and their critical writings helped shape the course of British literature for the next two decades. • The Movement – were Oxbridge-educated, white, predominantly male, middle-class, and for the most part heterosexual. • The Movement arose as a reaction to both modernism and this neo- Romanticism, grounded in the aftermath of World War II. There was a general desire to avoid any heroic sentiments at all and to live in the ordinary here- and-now.
