My aim with this paper is to make an academic review about the principles of his poetics manifest in his short essays, interviews, reviews, letters, and the poems themselves. My main interest will be to analyse the themes, form, style, imagery and symbolism, from the point of view of the numerous studies his being protagonist. Larkin was not one of the major essay writers in the history of British literature. He never wrote a text comparable with Wordsworth’s “Preface” to Lyrical Ballads,
