Larkin - Philip Arthur Larkin

Japanese: ラーキン - らーきん(英語表記)Philip Arthur Larkin
Larkin - Philip Arthur Larkin

British poet. Born in Coventry. A representative poet of the new poetry movement that arose in the early 1950s, he was a prolific poet, but had a great influence on British poetry after the Second World War. He maintained an anti-modernist stance, sought subjects from personal experiences and ordinary daily life, and sang in simple words and traditional poetic forms in his work "A Visit to the Abbey" (1955), which is so representative that it is included in every anthology of modern poetry. His anthologies include "The Northern Ship" (1945), "Deceit Lessened" (1955), "The Whitsun Wedding" (1965), and "The High Window" (1974). Since the 1960s, he has been noticeably devoted to Thomas Hardy, and edited the anthology "The Oxford English Version of Twentieth Century Poetry" (1973), which considers Hardy to be the father of modern poetry.

Japanese:

イギリスの詩人。コベントリー生まれ。1950年代初めにおこった新詩運動「ムーブメント」の代表的詩人で、寡作ながら第二次世界大戦後のイギリス詩に与えた影響は大きい。反モダニズムの姿勢を貫き、個人的体験や平凡な日常生活に題材を求め、簡素なことばと伝統的な詩形を用いて歌った『寺院を訪ねる』(1955)はどの現代詩華集にも収められているほどの代表作。詩集には『北の船』(1945)、『欺瞞(ぎまん)は減って』(1955)、『聖霊降臨祭の結婚式』(1965)、『高窓』(1974)などがある。60年代以降はトマス・ハーディへの傾倒が目だち、ハーディを現代詩の父祖とするアンソロジー『オックスフォード版20世紀イギリス詩』(1973)を編集した。
