Theme of alienation and isolation in philip larkin's poetry

Philip Larkin seems to produce through his poetry a recognizable and democratic vision of his contemporary society, in opposition to the high-minded and irrelevant concern of Modernism. However, he is a poet of deep complexity and contradiction which is depicted in nearly all his poems. Although he appears to stand firmly against the values of Modernism, yet at the same time his poetry is chiefly concerned with one of Modernism's key themes; the alienation and isolation of modern life. Therefore, the present research article deals with the theme of alienation and isolation in the poetry of Philip Larkin.
