In this volume, all his published poetry is brought together: "The North Ship", the pamphlet of "XX poems", "The Less Deceived", "The Whitsun Weddings" and his final book, "High Windows". In addition, many poems are published here for the first time. There is a substantial selection of early poems written from his middle teens to 1945, and several previously uncollected poems of his maturity, among them the few he completed and left unpublished after "High Windows". Anthony Thwaite has based the whole edition on the carefully preserved and dated notebooks and typescripts left by Larkin. An appendix lists in the order Larkin assigned to them the contents of each of the books and pamphlets published in his lifetime, together with the order of contents of the collection "In the Grip of Light", which he attempted to publish in 1947. As the editor observes, "taken together, the poems show the growth of a major poet, testing, filtering, rejecting, modulating, achieving"'.

Allston's 1814 painting of Coleridge, also appearing as the frontispiece. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean throughout. In the bright wrapper, rubbed to folds, corners and spine tips. Inscribed by Raymond Brett in blue ink to the front free endpaper "For Brynmor / with gratitude for the many / years of happiness I have / enjoyed in Hull under your / leadership / Raymond." Brett (1917-1996) was G. F. Grant Professor of English at the University of Hull between 1952 and 1982 and Dean of the Faculty of Arts from 1960-1962. He published and edited many books on (and by) Coleridge and Wordsworth. Brett was a friend to Philip Larkin, and shortly before his death in 1996, he wrote a short, penetrating account of the relationship, published posthumously in the Larkin Society bulletin 'About Larkin' (April 1999). A print-out of that essay is laid in to this book. Sir Brynmor Jones (19031989), was born in North Wales and educated at University College of Wales at Bangor and at St John's College, Cambridge. In 1947 he became a professor chair at University College, where he later became Dean of Science, Deputy Principal. When the college achieved full university status in 1954, he became iPro-Vice-Chancellor and, in 1956, Vice-Chancellor. The expanded University of Hull Library, famously presided over by the poet, Philip Larkin, was named after Jones in 1967.

First edition, first printing. Original dark olive cloth with white lettering to the spine, in the dustwrapper with Sue Linney's drawing of Larkin to the front panel. A very near fine, bright copy, the binding tight and square. There is a little light spotting to the top edge of the closed text-block, the contents are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the near fine dustwrapper which is a touch faded to the spine and lightly creased at the edges. Not price-clipped (£16.95 to the front flap). An attractive copy of the first collected edition of Larkin's poems. This posthumous collection, which presents all Larkin's published poems (and a selection previously unpublished) in chronological order of composition, was edited by Larkin's friend and fellow poet, Anthony Thwaite. It was later ousted by a less comprehensive (if more immediately user-friendly) edition, also edited by Thwaite, which printed the contents of each of the poet's four published collections intact, with some uncollected poems tucked away in appendices. Both versions have their adherents. Larkin arranged his slim volumes very carefully, so it's good to have the poems printed that way. This original edition, however, prints the date of composition at the foot of every poem (the dates drawn from the poet's manuscript notebooks), allowing the reader to witness the growth of a great poet. It includes an appendix indicating the ordering of the individual volumes, along with relevant page numbers. Published on 10th October 1988, 11,563 copies of this first impression were printed. Such was the appetite for a Collected Larkin, a further 8460 copies had to be printed later the same month (and another 12,700 the following month).
