Philip Larkin as a love poet
 Rejšková, Tereza ; Quinn, Justin (advisor) ; Tobrmanová, Šárka (referee)
This thesis has tried to show that most of Philip Larkin's poems have something to say about love. However, whether it allows us to call Larkin a love poet or not is difficult to say. Perhaps Larkin did not write enough about love to be called a love poet; or perhaps he wrote too much. He did not write enough in the sense that there are no long (or short) lists of poems about a beloved person or about being in love. And he wrote too much in the sense that love is so important in the poetry that it cannot be isolated only in a few love poems. Larkin did not treat love as a special category of occurrences which could be separated from everything else that belongs to people's lives (and deaths). Therefore one could not speak of Larkin as of a love poet as well as one could not speak of Larkin as a nature poet or as a poet of deprivation. Larkin diligently escapes all such simplifying categories by his rich and complex body of work. The only thing one could say without any further specification is that Larkin is a poet, and the greater poet for escaping all the limiting categories. We certainly can be glad that "poetry chose [him]" (RW 62).
