When Philip Larkin died in 1985, his fame was great and his claims on literary immortality were considerable. But, with the publication of the Selected Letters of Philip Larkin by Anthony Thwaite in 1992 and his biography by Andrew Motion in 1993, opinion has been changed sharply. Larkin had become to be thought of as a misogynist, who was foul-mouthed, neurotic, and even addicted to pornography. But the relationship between Larkin's life and work is highly problematic and teasingly oblique. So, in order to understand Larkin’s dichotomy between his social life and his writing life, we should return to the rhetorical strategies which make his poems simultaneously self- revealing and self-protective. It is important to recognize that the attitudes towards women which he expressed in both letters and poems is not predatory, but defensive. He shunned all aspects of everyday life including women to procure the independence and freedom allowing him to devote himself only to art. All his life, he wanted to be a true writer, and this literary romanticism remained in lifelong creative conflict with the so-called misogynistic philistinism.
