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. Prominence Is Given To The Poet'S Comments On His Own Work, Which Often Outline The Circumstances That Gave Rise To A Poem Or State That He Was Trying To Achieve. Larkin Often Played Down His Literariness, But His Poetry Enrichingly Alludes To And Echoes The Writings Of Many Others. Archie Burnett'S Commentary Establishes Larkin As A More Complex And More Literary Poet Than Many Readers Have Suspected.
