THE ART OF AN ANTI-ROMANTIC AND AN ANTI-MODERNIST: LARKIN ABOUT MODERN REALITY
Öz
In the early 1950s a group of young English poets
formed a literary circle called The Movement, as a correspondent to Angry Young
Man in theatre. Philip Larkin is a perfect representative of the Movement and
post-war generation. He interpreted modern reality from his own perspective
with a realistic, simple, clear, colloquial style that discarded both
Romanticism and Modernism. He was the follower of a clearly English line, with
provincialism in theme, traditionalism in form, blunt representations of modern
reality, refusal of idealization of the self or nature, and a kind of
simplicity, and accessibility. Thus in this paper Larkin’s anti-romantic and
anti-modernist style of poetry will be discussed with his involvement of the
Movement, and analyzed through several of his poems.
