The Whitsun Weddings - Philip Larkin

Popis produktu

Philip Larkin (1922-1985) remains England''s best-loved poet - a writer matchlessly capable of evoking his native land and of touching all readers from the most sophisticated intellectual to the proverbial common reader. The late John Betjeman observed that ''this tenderly observant poet writes clearly, rhythmically, and thoughtfully about what all of us can understand''. Behind this modest description lies a poet who made greatness look, in Milton''s prescription, ''simple, sensuous and passionate''.This collection, first published in 1967, contains many of his best-loved poems, including The Whitsun Weddings, An Arundel Tomb, Days, Mr Bleaney and MCMXIV.
