1	"With Meaning and Meaning's Rebuttal" : A Contrastive Reading of Philip Larkin's The Less Deceived Lazic, Boris January 2014 (has links) This essay focuses on Philip Larkin’s The Less Deceived, a collection of poems published in 1955, and tries to demonstrate how the poems within it can be organized and understood according to a contrast between more and less deceived. Through close reading and comparative analysis this overarching contrast is shown to be expressed by recurrences of imagery and thematic material as well as by a series of related opposing terms which inform many of the viewpoints expressed within the collection. These oppositions include those between illusion and disillusion, distance and proximity, surface and depth, artifice and reality as well as innocence and guilt. The essay also concludes that the overarching categories of greater and lesser deception are expressed to varying degrees by the different poems and that neither category can thus be considered as favoured above the other.

2	The Existential Concepts of Time, Death and Choice in the Poetry of Philip Larkin Paule, Elizabeth Emily 12 1900 (has links) This thesis examines time, death, and choice in Philip Larkin's poetry, arguing that his approach to these themes is not deterministic, but existential. The argument is based on the similarity between Larkin's views and those of three existential philosophers. Larkin's view of time, like Heidegger's, is that men live not in long stretches of time, but in processions of unconnected yet similar moments. A constant underlying sadness, like Kierkegaard's despair, makes each moment reminiscent of death. Like Sartre, Larkin finds meaning in his choices, and struggles to live authentically without expectation. Although Thomas Hardy influenced Larkin, given these similarities, Larkin's poetry cannot rightly be called deterministic. It is an attempt to preserve experience for its own sake.

3	El concepto de marcador estructural: su aplicación en el discurso poético de Phipil Larkin Alou Ramis, Damià 09 May 2008 (has links) La presente tesis consta de dos partes principales. En la primera se pretende definir y delimitar el concepto de marcador estructural como herramienta de análisis textual aplicada a la traducción poética. Tras una aproximación a la especificidad del texto poético, y tras repasar las principales aportaciones teóricas a la traducción poética, identificamos los marcadores estructurales con los rasgos estilísticos que marcan el armazón semántico del texto.Posteriormente, se aplica el análisis basado en los marcadores estructurales a 21 poemas de Philip Larkin, seleccionados por temas. El producto práctico de este análisis es la traducción al castellano de cada poema, acompañada de un mapa donde figuran los rasgos que forman la estructura; y el producto teórico una caracterización estilística de la poesía de Larkin, representada en un mapa donde figuran sus principales rasgos estilístico. También se aporta un esbozo de crítica de la traducción basado en dicha herramienta. / This dissertation consists of two parts.
