“Larkin is pre-eminently a poet of loneliness and loss.” How far do you agree with this statement? Make reference to the poems we have read so far in your response. Philip Larkin‚ one of Britain’s best loved poets‚ was known for his often unenthusiastic outlook towards life and the people that surrounded him.

Critical appreciation ‘One art’ Elizabeth Bishop’s six-stanza villanelle ‘one art’ is a misleading poem dealing with the struggle of mastering the issue of loss and how to interpret it.

My analysis will try to show how through the use of language‚ tone and poetic devices

The poem Mr Bleaney has three characters: Mr Bleaney; the house owner; and the new tenant‚ but centres around the life of one character‚ Mr Bleaney. The poem focuses on the house in which Mr Bleaney had a rented room for a number of years‚ until he moved out‚ or perhaps died. A new tenant is introduced to the vacated room‚ and he decides to stay. From the description of his old room and its contents‚ we are able to paint a picture of Mr Bleaney’s monotonous existence and lifestyle. There is great

Hopkins’s “Pied Beauty” is one of such poems. “Pied Beauty” points to poet’s power of sensuous appreciation of the beauty of the things around‚ his poetic concentration‚ compassion and above all‚ his unquestioning faith in God.

Mrs. Eudora Larkin orders and thinks she owns the town and she is ‘classified’ as one of the better people of the town. Well‚ that was my first opinion of Mrs. Larkin. She can be bossy and mean with a hint of disgust‚ but when Arthur Devil‚ the mine owner‚ offends the late Eugene Larkin‚ people sure can change. My first opinion of Eudora was too early and didn’t have much sense‚ but there are parts of Moon over Manifest that she can be barbaric. (220) ‘“ Velma‚’ Mrs. Larkin interrupted‚ ‘surely

Compare and contrast the ways in which death is portrayed in Philip Larkin’s poem ‘Days’ and ‘Ambulances’ and Sylvia plath’s ‘Lady Lazarus’ and ‘Death and Co’ The poems i am going to analyse are: • Lady Lazarus • Death and Co • Ambulances • Days It is understatement to say that both Sylvia Plath and Philip Larkin have immense depth and subsidiary meanings to their poems‚ both writers expertly structure their poems and used varied techniques to convey their themes of death and instil their messages

Larkin is a misogynist who hates marriage and children. Discuss how far you agree. I agree with this statement to some extend but not fully.

Larkin comes across as a misogynist from the way
