Focusing on Philip Larkin's individually published volumes, this book traces clearly the development of his poetic achievement. Arguing engagingly and setting close analysis of individual poems within a theoretical context, Andrew Swarbrick offers a fresh and timely reappraisal of one of this century's major writers.
