| Description: |
An account of a young English undergraduate from the provinces, this portrait of Oxford during the war is regarded by many critics as a classic of its kind. |
| Synopsis: |
"Jill" is Philip Larkin's first novel, originally published in 1946. A subtle and moving account of a young English undergraduate from the provinces, this portrait of Oxford during the war is now regarded by many critics as a classic of its kind. "The qualities one has learned to value in his poetry are there: control of emotion and language, keen observation, and in particular the very precise expression of half-success, anticipated failure or sadness". ("New Statesman"). ""Jill" is, in a sense, a kind of cryptic literary manifesto. It is a novel about writing, about discovering a literary personality, and about the sorts of consolation that art can provide". (Andrew Motion). |
