<p>This book examines Larkins evocation of place and space, along with the&nbsp;opportunities for self-discovery offered by the act and thought of travel. From his&nbsp;canonical verse to his lesser-known juvenilia and dream diaries, this title unveils&nbsp;a new Larkin; a man whose religious, political and ontological affiliations are&nbsp;often as wide-ranging and experimental as the very form and symbolic licence&nbsp;used to express them. Whether exploring Larkins fondness for deictics (pointing&nbsp;words, like here/there), his fascination with death, or his interest in the sexual&nbsp;opportunities of an itinerant lifestyle, this monograph provides fresh critical&nbsp;approaches bound to appeal to established Larkin scholars and newcomers alike.<br></p>
