The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse by Philip Larkin
Philip Larkin's Oxford Book of Twentieth-Century English Verse provoked controversy and dispute on first publication in 1973. It was also considered a quirky and idiosyncratic collection by some critics. Today it is recognized as a fine and wide-ranging selection of modern English verse.
I am happy to see MrLarkin's taste in poetry and my own are in agreement ... I congratulate him most warmly on his achievement. * W. H. Auden, The Guardian *

"a brilliant selection" The Week, Saturday, 19th June 1999
It is a sheer joy to dip into. * Steve Matthews, Southern Daily Echo *

Philip Larkin's best-known poetry collections (all Faber) include The Less Deceived (1955); The Whitsun Weddings (1964) and High Windows (1974). Recent editions of his letters, and a biography by Andrew Motion have revived interest in the man as well as the poet.
