- Abstract
Philip Larkin was one of the poets who believed to be intimately related to The Movement. The poets of The Movement believed to have rebelled against the inflated romanticism of the nineteen thirties and nineteen-forties. The Movement was surely not a well-organized group of poets with a clear and consistent programme of ideas. But this group did have a shared set of values and assumptions closely related to the moods and conditions of Post-War England. Larkin has a profound sensitive and complex response to the muddle and the drama of ordinary, everyday human life. He adopted a poetic stance focussing closely and persistently on the mundane and on the relentless and sometimes disillusionment of existence. This response includes both an affirmation that life is worth living and a stubborn refusal to be deceived in their perceptions of reality. So the present paper is an attempt to study disillusionment in Larkin's selected poetry at three levels - the emotional, social and political.
