Book Reviews of Collected Poems
Book Review: A librarian's lofty disdain.
Summary: 4 Stars
The view from Larkins' ivory tower was such that he felt able to look down on and sneer at much of "ordinary" humanity, a somewhat typically British, middle-class disposition. This stance is redeemed, however, by his keen understanding of the deep undercurrents that animate and sustain society, such as the quest for meaning and significance in an otherwise bleak and uncaring world.
