PHILIP LARKIN
The general recognition of Mr Larkin as one of the most distinguished poets alive today has led to a continuing demand for this, his earliest volume of verse. It was first published in August 1945; and in his introduction - as illuminating as it is entertaining - to this new edition (which contains an additional poem of the period, not previously collected) Mr Larkin discusses the circumstances of its publication and the influences which shaped its contents.

THE WHITSUN WEDDINGS 'Temperamentally and geographically remote, he has refused almost all invitations to judge, recite, review, lecture, pontificate, or be interviewed, and has continued to produce his rare and fine poems. The Whit-sun Weddings contains thirty-two of them, of which ten are among Mr Larkin's best and indeed among the best poems of our time . . . They move, broadly, from a common area of concern, but between them they range across a whole emotional human landscape, a landscape which can take in compassion, violence, humour, love, a sense of order and a sense of waste. Together they present the finely imaged and expressed distillations of a remarkable poetic personality.' The Times Literary Supplement
'This volume does something to clarify its author's essential achievement, and if it does that, it clarifies something about true poetry.' John Hollo way in The Spectator

A GIRL IN WINTER Out of the hundreds of novels published every year a few achieve a greater de^ee of permanence. A Girl in Winter is a notable example. When it was first published discerning critics at once remarked on its quality. 'An exquisite performance,' said The Sunday Times, 'as nearly faultless as may be.' To those who have never read it we can, with equal confidence, recommend it. 18i net

For this revised edition of his first novel, Mr Larkin has written a special introduction recalling wartime Oxford (in which the novel is set) and some of his College contemporaries, several of whom were to become leading literary figures of our time.
'The qualities one has learned to value in his poetry are there: control of emotion and language, keen observations, in particular the very precise expression of half-success, anticipated failure or sadness.' Stephen Hugh-Jones in the New Statesman 2\s net Vissza
