Critics have labelled Larkins poetry as sexist, racist and reactionary. However, this volume demonstrates that Larkins artistic impulse throughout his career was to challenge orthodox models of social and sexual politics. Focusing on the Brunette Coleman novellas and the unfinished novels, a structural blueprint is identified as prefiguring the later poems commentary on sexual and social conduct. Further unpublished material includes correspondence, workbook drafts, dream records, and a playscript, depicting, alternately, hostility to wartime heroics, revulsion from capitalism, unease with traditional gender roles and an interest in psychoanalysis. This study, originally published in hardcover in 2004 (now available in paperback), makes available to scholars paintings by Larkins friend, James Sutton, which illuminate the writers concern with social oppression, especially the predicament of women in the 1940s. Philip Larkin: Subversive Writer is a fresh and revealing study on Larkins artistic subversion; stylistic and thematic, it reveals the underlying themes of Larkins entire oeuvre.

Larkins poetry and fiction are given a new and lasting significance in the light of this radical reappraisal. -- Stephen Regan, Professor of English, University of DurhamCooper cites unpublished correspondence that under-scores the idea that Larkin was more artistically experimental and subversive than the current critical portrait of him suggests, especially regarding the social reinforcement of gender roles. Highly recommended. -- ChoiceThe way [Cooper] points out the coexistence of a realist and a modernist paradigm in A Girl in Winter is a contribution not only to Larkin studies, but also to the literary history of the 20th century. -- Professor Istvan Racz, Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies
