About this Lecture

Lecture

In this module, we discuss 'Broadcast', the sixth poem in Larkin's 'Whitsun Weddings'.

Course

In this course, we explore Philip Larkin’s 1964 collection of poetry, ‘The Whitsun Weddings’. Having introduced Larkin and his poetry in the first module, we then go through each poem in turn, reading it aloud and providing an in-depth, line-by-line analysis. The final module offers some concluding thoughts on the collection as a whole.
