Klappentext zu „Larkin's Travelling Spirit “
This book examines Larkin's evocation of place and space, along with the opportunities for self-discovery offered by the act and thought of travel. From his canonical verse to his lesser-known juvenilia and dream diaries, this title unveils a new Larkin; a man whose religious, political and ontological affiliations are often as wide-ranging and experimental as the very form and symbolic licence used to express them. Whether exploring Larkin's fondness for deictics ('pointing' words, like here/there), his fascination with death, or his interest in the sexual opportunities of an itinerant lifestyle, this monograph provides fresh critical approaches bound to appeal to established Larkin scholars and newcomers alike.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Larkin's Travelling Spirit “

Pressezitat
"Intellectually ambitious, heartfelt, and full of engaging close readings, Larkin's Travelling Spirit is a welcome addition to the body of critical work on Larkin. It is particularly gratifying to read the work of a critic who swells the ranks of our very own Philip Larkin Society. ... I am hopeful for the future of Larkin scholarship going forward." (Clarissa Hard, Journal of the Philip Larkin Society, Issue 51, April, 2021)
