Description

Poetry Against the World: Philip Larkin and Charles Tomlinson in Contemporary Britain offers a deep look at two major poets who shaped English literature. Part of the Routledge Studies in Contemporary Literature series, this book examines how Philip Larkin and Charles Tomlinson use their work to respond to an inhospitable world. While these two poets hold opposite aesthetic ambitions, they are both viewed as symbols of Englishness. This study explores how they attempt to address an age of demolition through their writing. Readers will gain a better understanding of the ways these representative poets propose to redress the challenges of their time and how their audiences have reacted to their unique poetic approaches.
