AS English Literature - Philip Larkin

Does anybody have any good resources/ideas/critical texts on Philip Larkin's poetry, or any tips with structure of answers with WJEC?

So far I've studied Mr Bleaney, The Large Cool Store, Here, The Whitsun Weddings, Nothing To Be Said, Love Songs In Age and Wild Oats.

Having studied the likes of Robert Browning with AQA before, who's poetry I found really easy to analyse in depth, I'm struggling to scratch the surface with Larkin as I feel there isn't an awful lot to say!

One of my most recent essay questions is "What ideas about love and the past are explored in Love Songs In Age and Wild Oats".

Thanks in advance

Hey! I did the WJEC AS English Lit course last year- and although we didn't do Larkin, I can offer some general advice/help with essays if you like?
