First Boredom, Then Fear
The Life of Philip Larkin. When Larkin's letters were published in 1992, the poet's enemies seized on the new disclosure with a frenzy unseen since the McCarthy era. What had been hitherto regarded only as a potential inclination hinted at in his poems - misogyny and xenophobia in particular were now indisputable facts, and since then Larkin's reputation as a poet has been tarnished by his image as a human being.
