Philip Larkin – High Windows – First UK Edition 1974
£185.00
A first edition, first printing published by Faber in 1974. A very good book with some light spotting to the front and rear paste down and end papers. Light inscription of previous owner faded/partially rubbed out on front end paper. In a very good wrapper (unclipped) but some foxing to front an rear flaps.
Philip Larkin’s last collection of poetry to be published in his lifetime. Dealing with themes of age, transience, the pastoral and various others key to Larkin’s oeuvre, High Windows is often seen as Larkin’s final poetic swan song. Some critics note that it is more ‘socially engaged’ that his earlier collections, though that is certainly up for debate…
