This entirely new edition brings together all of Philip Larkin's
poems. In addition to those in Collected Poems (1988), and in the
Early Poems and Juvenilia (2005), some unpublished pieces from
Larkin's typescripts and workbooks are included, as well as verse
(by turns scurrilous, satirical, affectionate, and sentimental)
tucked away in his letters. The manuscript and printed sources have
been scrutinized afresh; more detailed accounts than hitherto
available of the sources of the text and of dates of composition
are provided; and previous accounts of composition dates have been
corrected. Variant wordings from Larkin's typescripts and the early
printings are recorded. For the first time, the poems are given a
comprehensive commentary. This draws critically upon, and
substantially extends, the accumulated scholarship on Larkin, and
covers closely relevant historical contexts, persons and places,
allusions and echoes, and linguistic usage. Due prominence is given
to the poet's comments on his poems, which often outline the
circumstances that gave rise to a poem, or state what he was trying
to achieve. Larkin played down his literariness, but his poetry
enrichingly alludes to and echoes the writings of many others;
Archie Burnett's commentary establishes him as a more complex and
more literary poet than many readers have suspected.
