Description
Philip Larkin's Selected Letters reveal a more complex figure than his poetry alone might suggest. This collection of letters offers an astonishing view of a great poet's progress, from youth to age, and provides a biographical document that no serious reader can afford to ignore. Through these pages, we gain insight into the personality behind the work, with Larkin showing himself to be one of the frankest and most generously entertaining letter-writers of the century. Confessions, jokes, advice, scurrilities, pronouncements on literature and jazz, impromptu verses, gossip, and wisdom abound. This selection sheds new light on a remarkable figure, complementing his poetry with a unique perspective on life, literature, and culture.
