Critics have labelled Larkins poetry as sexist, racist and
reactionary. However, this volume demonstrates that Larkins
artistic impulse throughout his career was to challenge orthodox
models of social and sexual politics. Focusing on the Brunette
Coleman novellas and the unfinished novels, a structural blueprint
is identified as prefiguring the later poems commentary on sexual
and social conduct. Further unpublished material includes
correspondence, workbook drafts, dream records, and a playscript,
depicting, alternately, hostility to wartime heroics, revulsion
from capitalism, unease with traditional gender roles and an
interest in psychoanalysis. This study, originally published in
hardcover in 2004 (now available in paperback), makes available to
scholars paintings by Larkins friend, James Sutton, which
illuminate the writers concern with social oppression, especially
the predicament of women in the 1940s. Philip Larkin: Subversive
Writer is a fresh and revealing study on Larkins artistic
subversion; stylistic and thematic, it reveals the underlying
themes of Larkins entire oeuvre.
