"I'm an agnostic," the British poet Philip Larkin
(1922-1985) used to say, "an Anglican agnostic, of
course."
What Larkin is resisting in his writings, how this is a
achieved, and why his texts tend to such complex
ends, are among the questions explored by the
thirteen specialists in this first thematically-unified
volume of Larkin scholarship published in France.
