Overturning many of the established perspectives on Larkins poetry and prose, Coopers book presents new evidence from a range of previously unpublished sources, and is the first full-length critical work to analyze Larkins early fiction, as well as advance new readings of The Less Deceived, The Whitsun Weddings and High Windows. Critics have tended to label Larkins poetry as sexist, racist and reactionary. However, this volume demonstrates that Larkins artistic impulse throughout his career was to challenge orthodox models of social and sexual politics. Focusing on the Brunette Coleman novellas and the unfinished novels, a structural blueprint is identified as prefiguring the later poems commentary on sexual and social conduct. Further unpublished material includes correspondence, workbook drafts, dream records, and a playscript, depicting, alternately, hostility to wartime heroics, revulsion to capitalism, unease with traditional gender roles and an interest in psychoanalysis.
