Description

Philip Larkin is widely regarded as one of the greatest English poets of the 20th century. As such, there is a vast amount of literary criticism surrounding his work. This Readers' Guide provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of the key reactions to Larkins poetry. Using a chronological structure, Robert C. Evans charts critical responses to Larkins work from his arrival on the British literary scene in the 1950s to the decades after his death. This includes analyses of critical material from around the world, making this an excellent guide for all students of Larkin.

Reviews

'This is the most comprehensive study to date of the critical reception of Philip Larkin's poetry. It is also an immensely valuable contribution to scholarship in its own right. Lucid and incisive, it offers an illuminating account of both the poetry and the diverse, often controversial, responses it has prompted since its first publication.' - Stephen Regan, Durham University, UK
