Philip Larkin was considered as one of the greatest English poets of the latter half of the 20th century. He began his career as a librarian at Wellington, concurrently studying to qualify as a professional librarian. All the while he continued with his literally pursuit, publishing his first collection of poems at the age of 23. It was followed by two novels. Thereafter, he concentrated on poetry writing, publishing his second collection of poems, ‘The Less Deceived’ at the age of 35. Although it made him famous, he took another nine years to publish his third collection, mainly because of his preoccupation as the librarian of the Brynmor Jones Library at the University of Hull. He wrote sparingly; in spite of that he became almost a household name, a rare fit for a poet. Yet his ‘Selected Letters’, containing vulgar outburst against women, minorities, and working-class and published posthumously in 1992, almost obliterated his reputation, labeling him as a misogynist and racist. His reputation was finally restored when 31 years after his death he found a place in the Poet’s Corner at Westminster’s Abbey.
