About This Item
London, England: London, UK; FF / Faber & Faber, 2012, 1st Edition, 2nd Printing, 2012. ------------( 2nd Printing of the First Edition ) ---hardcover, a Near Fine example, short faint rub mark on front board, in a lightly rubbed Near Fine dustjacket, short rub/scratch to jacket on front panel lower edge (see scan), very slight cut to the jacket which is near invisible (noticed it on the verso when I was putting a mylar protector on the jacket ---just to the the left of THE in the title near the spine ), 729 pages ---" 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 In addition to those in Collected Poems (1988), and in the Early Poems and Juvenilia (2005), some unpublished pieces from Larkin's typescripts and workbooks are included, as well as verse (by turns scurrilous, satirical, affectionate, and sentimental) tucked away in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.
