It was during the thirty years he worked with distinction as university librarian at the Brynmor Jones Library at the University of Hull that he produced the greater part of his published work. His poems are marked by what Andrew Motion calls a very English, glum accuracy about emotions, places, and relationships, and what Donald Davie described as lowered sights and diminished expectations. Eric Homberger echoing Randall Jarrell called him the saddest heart in the post war supermarketLarkin himself said that deprivation for him was what daffodils were for Wordsworth. Influenced by W. H. Auden, W. B. Yeats, and Thomas Hardy, his poems are highly structured but flexible verse forms. They were described by Jean Hartley, the ex wife of Larkins publisher George Hartley the Marvell Press, as a piquant mixture of lyricism and discontent,4 though anthologist Keith Tuma writes that there is more to Larkins work than its reputation for dour pessimism suggests. Larkins public persona was that of the no nonsense, solitary Englishman who disliked fame and had no patience for the trappings of the public literary life.

Larkins early childhood was in some respects unusual he was educated at home until the age of eight by his mother and sister, neither friends nor relatives ever visited the family home, and he developed a stammer. Nonetheless, when he joined Coventrys King Henry VIII Junior School he fitted in immediately and made close, long standing friendships, such as those with James Jim Sutton, Colin Gunner and Noel Josh Hughes. Although home life was relatively cold, Larkin enjoyed support from his parents. For example, his deep passion for jazz was supported by the purchase of a drum kit and a saxophone, supplemented by a subscription to Down Beat. From the junior school he progressed to King Henry VIII Senior School. He fared quite poorly when he sat his School Certificate exam at the age of 1. Despite his results, he was allowed to stay on at school two years later he earned distinctions in English and History, and passed the entrance exams for St Johns College, Oxford, to read English. Larkin began at Oxford University in October 1. Second World War. The old upper class traditions of university life had, at least for the time being, faded, and most of the male students were studying for highly truncated degrees. Due to his poor eyesight, Larkin failed his military medical examination and was able to study for the usual three years. Through his tutorial partner, Norman Iles, he met Kingsley Amis, who encouraged his taste for ridicule and irreverence and who remained a close friend throughout Larkins life. Amis, Larkin and other university friends formed a group they dubbed The Seven, meeting to discuss each others poetry, listen to jazz, and drink enthusiastically. During this time he had his first real social interaction with the opposite sex, but made no romantic headway. In 1. 94. 3 he sat his finals, and, having dedicated much of his time to his own writing, was greatly surprised at being awarded a first class honours degree.
