"I'm an agnostic," the British poet Philip
Larkin (1922-1985) used to say, "an
Anglican agnostic, of course."
The idiosyncratic unbelief that Philip
Larkin made his own in a distinguished
writing career spanning five decades is
typically mediated by an engaging play of
bluff and counter-bluff, as seen in his
almost mock metaphysics.
What Larkin is resisting in his writings,
how this is a achieved, and why his texts
tend to such complex ends, are among
the questions explored by the thirteen
specialists in this first
thematically-unified volume of Larkin
scholarship published in France.
