Philip Larkin met Monica Jones at University College Leicester in
autumn 1946, when they were both twenty-four; he was the
newly-appointed assistant librarian and she was an English
lecturer. In 1950 Larkin moved to Belfast, and thence to Hull,
while Monica remained in Leicester, becoming by turns his
correspondent, lover and closest confidante, in a relationship
which lasted over forty years until the poet's death in 1985. This
remarkable unpublished correspondence only came to light after
Monica Jones's death in 2001, and consists of nearly two thousand
letters, postcards and telegrams, which chronicle - day by day,
sometimes hour by hour - every aspect of Larkin's life and the
convolutions of their relationship.
