Bloomfield/Larkin Papers
- Scope & Content:
-
Material relating to Barry Bloomfield's bibliographies of Philip Larkin, including drafts and corrected proofs, correspondence between Larkin and Bloomfield, items by Larkin and about Larkin, and papers relating to the Philip Larkin Society.
A librarian by profession, Barry Bloomfield (1931-2002, see the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography for fuller biographical details) worked on a bibliography of W.H. Auden (published 1964, revised edition published 1972), before assuming the role of official bibliographer to Philip Larkin (1922-1985), leading to the publication of Philip Larkin: a bibliography, 1933-1976 (Faber and Faber, London, 1979), followed by a revised edition, Philip Larkin: a bibliography, 1933-1994 (British Library and Oak Knoll Press, London and New Castle, 2002). Bloomfield went on to build up an extensive collection of Larkin material, including first editions and translations, the majority of which was seperately acquired by the British Library and catalogued in the printed book collections under the numbers Larkin 1 to Larkin 213. Bloomfield also became Vice Chairman of the Philip Larkin Society, which was founded in 1995, 10 years after Larkin's death.
