Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. London. Faber and Faber Ltd. 1985, 1986 and 1999 respectively. All are reprints in the very attractive Faber format. Two have the signature Faber logo decorating the wraps; 'High Windows' is slightly smaller and a later edition. 'The North Ship' was his first book of poetry in 1945 and preceded his two novels. He came to prominence with 'The Whitsun Weddings' in 1964 followed by 'High windows' in 1974. Eric Homberger called him "the saddest heart in the post-war supermarket"Larkin himself said that deprivation for him was "what daffodils were for Wordsworth". Influenced by W. H. Auden, W. B. Yeats, and Thomas Hardy, his poems are highly structured but flexible verse forms. They were described by Jean Hartley, the ex-wife of Larkin's publisher as a "piquant mixture of lyricism and discontent". The books are all in near fine condition having been very gently read. 'The North Shio' and 'The Whitsun Weddings' have their cover design repeated in black and white to the title page. Please have a look at our other recently listed duos and trios of notable 20th century poets in Faber editions. POSTAGE IS FREE! The covers will be protected with a new inert archival 100 micron sleeve which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional images.

First Edition
First Faber edition. Original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities very lightly rubbed. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the very good rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is toned to the spine and panel edges and has a few short closed tears at the extremities, the rear flap fold with very slight loss. Not price-clipped (15s on the front flap). 'The North Ship', Larkin's first book, was originally issued by The Fortune Press in 1945. This first Faber edition, of which 2000 copies were printed, adds another poem and a four page introduction by the author. Larkin was always disparaging about the book. "Looking at the collection today", he writes in the introduction to the reissue, "it seems amazing that anyone should have offered to publish it without a cheque in advance and a certain amount of bullying", referring to its "search for a style" and the clear debts to Auden, Dylan Thomas, and predominantly Yeats (invoking his "immediately post-Oxford self, isolated in Shropshire with a complete Yeats stolen from the local girls' school"). This may seem harsh, but the new edition includes one extra poem the concluding monologue (XXXII), "Waiting for breakfast " which was written in 1947 after he had (re)discovered Thomas Hardy's poems. If the earlier influences obscured his own voice, Hardy's example served to clarify it. (Bloomfield A1c). Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

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.
