Philip Larkin. Philosophical Leanings

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 9.00, Ranchi University , language: English, abstract: This research aims to rework upon certain established and fundamental aspects of Larkin's poetry, which not only define but also determine his elusive philosophical stance. Larkin appears to have had a close affinity with the distinguished German philosopher, Arthur Schopenhauer, the propounder of great systems of thought. Both Larkin and Schopenhauer seems to have been disillusioned by the frugal rewards of life and endeavoured to explore its subtleties.
