摘要：Philip Arthur Larkin was an English poet, novelist, and jazz critic of twentieth century. He was agreat technician, craftsman and a strategist. He was associated with the Movement, a term whichdescribes a group of British poets of 1950s who came together to protest against the inflatedromanticism of 1930 and 1940. his famous poetic collections are The North Ship, the Whitsun Weddingsand High Windows. Jill and A Girl in Winter are his two most famous novels. He remained single throughout his 63 years. He is buried at the Cottingham Municipal cemetery near Hull.Larkin has been called “The saddest heart in the post-war Supermarket.” He is often criticized forbeing a poet of disappointments. His works, no doubt, justify this criticism. This aspect of Larkin’scompositions made me surprise and curious to know why this great figure became so nervous in themodern era which is full of optimism and enthusiasm. I tried to discover his personal and socialcircumstances making him a poet of negative ideas.
