This book extensively investigates the integral nature of spatiality
and spatial imagination in the works of Philip Larkin. It addresses
Larkin's idea of space and place, both private and public, and
reflects upon his early fictional works as well as poems. To do so,
the book also emphasizes the essential spatiality of modern British
literature with suitable examples from other great poets of the early
20th century modernist movement, including T.S. Eliot, W.B. Yeats,
W.H. Auden, and Dylan Thomas. By including detailed analysis of many
unpublished poems and his early fictions, the book aspires to be a
comprehensive study of Larkin's oeuvre and thus examines how Larkin's
sense of place changed as he developed as a writer, starting with
Brunette Coleman novels and going on to High Windows. Featuring
suitable references from his biographies and letters, the book will
examine Larkin's works in relation to a number of relevant ideas from
the interdisciplinary spheres of literature, geography and Spatial
Humanities.
