He graduated from St. John's College, Oxford (B.A., 1943; M.A., 1947) and was for many years librarian at the Univ. of Hull. With an eye for the ordinary, Larkin wrote poetry of diminution, quietly exposing the weakness and pretensions of English life. His wit was subtle, delicate, and deadly. Among his volumes of poetry are The North Ship The Less Deceived The Whitsun Weddings (1964), and High Windows (1974). Larkin edited The Oxford Book of Twentieth-Century English Verse (1973). In addition, he published two novels, Jill (1940) and A Girl in Winter (1947); and two collections of critical pieces, (1970) and Required Writing (1983). With the onset of deafness in the 1970s Larkin ceased writing poetry and jazz criticism. Despite a slim body of mature work, Larkin has a secure reputation as one of the finest and most original poets of his era. See studies by L. Kuby (1974) and R. Day (1987); A. Thwaite, ed.

© 1994 Don W. King Material in this essay may be used as long as appropriate acknowledgment is given to the author Sacramentalism in the Poetry of Philip Larkin A study of Philip Larkin's four volumes of poetry, The North Ship The Less Deceived The Whitsun Weddings (1964), and High Windows (1974), confirms that his poetry is "an affair of sanity, of seeing things as they are" ("Big Victims" 368). Typically his is a skeptical vision; indeed, he has been called "unillusioned, with a metaphysical zero in his bones" (Bedient 70). David Timms argues that Larkin's poetry as a whole "sees life as a bleak, sometimes horrifying business" (97). Ian Hamilton agrees and adds that the biggest problem with Larkin's poetry is its "rather narrow range of negative attitudes" (102). Eric Homberger calls him "the saddest heart in the post-war supermarket" (74), while Geoffrey Thurley writes about Larkin's "central dread of satisfaction" (145). It must be admitted that there is a strong current of skepticism running through Larkin's poetry. In "Kick up the fire, and let the flames break loose" from

Archives and Special Collections: Subject guides - Philip Larkin Biographical details Philip Arthur Larkin was born in Coventry 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, and died from cancer in 1948 at the age of 63. His mother lived to be 91 and died on 17 November 1977. The family lived in Coventry between 1922 and 1940. Larkin attended King Henry VIII School there between 1930 and 1940. His early talent as a writer was shown in his regular contributions to The Coventrian, the school magazine, of which he was joint editor between 1939 and 1940. In October 1940 Larkin went to St John's College, Oxford. He failed his army medical as a result of poor eyesight and so was able to complete his degree uninterrupted, graduating with First Class Honours in English in 1943. His close friends at Oxford included Kingsley Amis and Bruce Montgomery, and many of them shared his passion for jazz music. Strongly influenced by, amongst others, Auden, Lawrence and Yeats, Larkin's literary talent developed rapidly. His first poem to be published in a national weekly was 'Ultimatum' in The Listener

Add to a Notebook Philip Larkin Philip Larkin was born in 1922 in Coventry, England. He attended St. John's College, Oxford. His first book of poetry, The North Ship , was published in 1945 and, though not particularly strong on its own, is notable insofar as certain passages foreshadow the unique sensibility and maturity that characterizes his later work. In 1946, Larkin discovered the poetry of Thomas Hardy and became a great admirer of his poetry, learning from Hardy how to make the commonplace and often dreary details of his life the basis for extremely tough, unsparing, and memorable poems. With his second volume of poetry, The Less Deceived (1955), Larkin became the preeminent poet of his generation, and a leading voice of what came to be called "The Movement," a group of young English writers who rejected the prevailing fashion for neo-Romantic writing in the style of Yeats and Dylan Thomas . Like Hardy, Larkin focused on intense personal emotion but strictly avoided sentimentality or self-pity.

Die präbarocke Schlichtheit hält den Blick kaum fest, bevor der eine Panzerhandschuh nicht ins Auge fällt, der leere, den der andere in der Pflicht umklammert hält, woraus die Hand sich fortgestohlen hat um ihre Hand zu suchen, schmal und glatt. Sie ahnten nicht, so lange hier zu liegen. Die Abbildtreue, das Detail im Stein, war ihren Freunden zugedacht allein, war die Gefälligkeit für Steinmetzlohn, die Namen, die sich um den Sockel schmiegen, noch länger vor Verfall zu schützen und vor Erosion.

37. Boston Review: "High Windows And Four-Letter Words ": Burt On Philip Larkin A discussion of the role of fourletter words, with reference to philip larkin's later verse. http://bostonreview.mit.edu/BR21.5/burt.html

High Windows and Four-Letter Words A Note on Philip Larkin Stephen Burt W hen Philip Larkin published High Windows in 1974, what everyone noticed, besides its general excellence, was its profusion of foul language. Larkin himself told John Betjeman that "whenever he looked at his book he found it was full of four-letter words." It is, too. Among the poems in High Windows that make use of dirty words are the book's title poem, "Vers de Société," and the well-known "This Be The Verse," a twelve-line poem beginning: "They fuck you up, your mum and dad. / They may not mean to, but they do." Robert Crawford described the impact that "Larkin's English" had on English poetry: The word "fuck" is canonical now. The poem by Philip Larkin which most people find easiest to remember is the one that begins with a fine pun in it: "They fuck you up. . ." The pun-that your parents both generate and ruin you-is fine, and it plays on one of the many special properties that "fuck," and some other dirty words, have: Their common figurative meanings have very remote relations to their literal meanings. Heterogeneous ideas are yoked together through the pun, just as heterogeneous expectations are yoked together through the violence with which the title and the first line hijack the words and meter of Robert Louis Stevenson's "Requiem." What else did "the fuck-poet" think he was doing? "I think [my use of four-letter words] can take different forms," Larkin wrote to John Sparrow:

Trauma Summary "Closed like confessionals," ambulances weave through the city. One of them might come to rest anywhere. When that happens, the onlookers momentarily see "a wild white face that overtops / Red stretcher blankets" as the patient is taken into the ambulance. Suddenly, just for a moment, they "sense the solving emptiness / That lies just under all we do." The onlookers whisper in distress. But the ambulance moves on, the traffic parts to let it by, and "dulls to distance all we are." [30 lines] Commentary Larkin captures the mystique of ambulances that appear from somewhere outside of our experience to take one of us away. A person who an hour ago was living through an ordinary day has, without warning, become a "wild white face that overtops / Red stretcher blankets." It can happen to you. It can happen to me. Ultimately, it will happen to all of us.
