Anthony Thwaite is een Engelse dichter en schrijver wiens werk wordt gekenmerkt door scherpe observatie en subtiele taal. Zijn schrijven put vaak uit persoonlijke ervaringen en reflectie, gericht op universele menselijke emoties en relaties. Thwaite verwierf erkenning voor zijn redactionele werk en zijn rol als literair executeur, waarbij hij zorgvuldig de toegankelijkheid van de werken van andere belangrijke auteurs vormgaf voor een breder publiek. Zijn eigen composities weerspiegelen een diepe betrokkenheid bij poëzie en literaire traditie.

Claudia Hampton - beautiful, famous, independent, dying. But she remains defiant to the last, telling her nurses that she will write a 'history of the world ...and in the process, my own'. And it is her story from a childhood just after the First World War through the Second and beyond.
Since its publication in 1988, Philip Larkin's Collected Poems has become essential reading on any poetry bookshelf. This new edition returns to Larkin's own deliberate ordering of his poems, presenting, in their original sequence, his four published books: The North Ship, The Less Deceived, The Whitsun Weddings and High Windows. It also includes an appendix of poems that Larkin published in other places, from his juvenilia to his final years - some of which might have appeared in a late book, if he had lived. Preserving everything that he published in his lifetime, this new Collected Poems returns the reader to the book Larkin might have intended.
