Larkin, Philip
Variant namesEnglish author Philip Larkin was born in Coventry and educated at Oxford. Within a few years of graduation, he had published two novels and a volume of poetry. His verse was technically accomplished and quite readable; despite a remarkably small output, he became one of the most highly-regarded poets of the 20th century. He was equally popular with critics and his loyal public, successfully producing accessible verse with a uniquely English voice that remained true to classical tradition. Shy and reserved, Larkin avoided attention, and supported himself with a long career as a librarian, chiefly at the University of Hull. He was also an important writer on jazz.
