Realistic cadence in Larkin's poetry

The Movement poetry aims at downright realism. The wide-ranging attitudes of the people and the writers during the time were anti-romantic and anti-imperialistic. The sudden crumple of British Imperialism to a third rate power, disillusioned and disenchanted the entire population of England. The standard of English people became very low and commercial consumerism prevailed in English society. Larkin was committed to a realistic portrayal of life and the actual condition of life in England. Therefore, his poems were very critical and realistic at the same time. His response to life and experience is distinguished by novelty and by poetic sincerity. Larkin himself brings out the way in which his poems acquire their basic impulse from his natural feelings about ordinary life. He inscribes sincerely about whatever happens to arouse and hold his interest. This paper aims to show how Larkin draws the material of his poetry from the casual experience that comes across in his everyday life and everyday reality.
