Piette, A.C. (2013) Childhood Wiped Out: Larkin, His Father, and the Bombing of Coventry. English, 62 (238). 230 - 247. ISSN 0013-8215
Abstract
This article looks at the bombing of Coventry, its representation in Larkin's poetry and prose, and argues that it gave the young Larkin a psychological opportunity to annul his childhood and perform a ritual burying of his father's influence over him as a consequence of Sydney Larkin's fascist sympathies before the war.
