"Such Deliberate Disguises: The Art of Philip Larkin" argues that a
true understanding of Philip Larkin as man and poet lies beyond his
enduring public appeal and the variety of criticism that has
recently been applied to his work. Richard Palmer suggests that the
ostensible simplicity of Larkin's writing, which continues to
attract so many readers to him, is deceptive, masking as it does
one of the richest and most resonant of oeuvres in
twentieth-century poetry. Penetrating the many masks of Larkin, the
book sheds new and considerable light on the hitherto largely
ignored spiritual significance of his work. Based upon close and
scrupulous reading of the poems themselves, it draws upon insights
gained from the history of art and the study of religion and myth
as much as literary criticism and personal biography.It also brings
long-overdue attention to what is seen to be perhaps the chief
love, and operative aesthetic force, of Larkin's life: jazz. "Such
Deliberate Disguises" is thus a major contribution, not just to
Larkin studies, but to the wider cultural history of our times.
