Description
Philip Larkin: Letters Home by Philip Larkin is a unique and intimate collection of letters that sheds new light on the life and experiences of one of England's most beloved poets. These letters, meticulously edited by James Booth, reveal the complexities of Larkin's relationships with his family members, particularly his father Sydney, mother Eva, and sister Kitty. The correspondence provides insight into how these early years shaped the writer we know today, including poems written during this time and the mood of pain and despondency that characterises his later verse. What is also striking about Letters Home is the lighter side of Larkin's personality, as evidenced by the numerous witty drawings he made of himself and his mother. This edition offers a fresh perspective on one of England's most cherished poets, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.
