I've added the detail of "The North Ship" and think it looks good now. I've got rid of the double inverted commas the poems' titles; after all at the top of the list is says this is a list of poems. Now it's much easier to see the difference between the titled and the untitled poems. As they're indicating quotes rather than a title, I've used single inverted commas. I'm wondering if we ought to do the same for
List of poems by Philip Larkin. I'll do a few so you can see what it would look like.
I think now we need to add something about the publishing history of the work and a few quotes about its subsequent reception history (There's no doubt that it precedes Larkin's mature style but it shows his outlook on the world coming into focus) I think this section should go after the Contents section, as it's less factual

On the first ten as a trial I've used the ‘ & ’ marks that I found under the edit window. I think they're a big improvement almost- instinct 14:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
The Roman numerals aren't helping are they? Unfortunately, that's what's in the book. I'm not sure that a sortable table would be as much use on the pages for the seperate books, especially this one where most of the dates of composition are extremely vague. If we had a two column table, could the Roman numerals be right-justified and the titles left-justified? So that it looked a bit like this:
Integral | Roman | Title |
---|---|---|
1 | I | Poem A |
2 | II | Poem AA |
3 | III | Poem AAA |
4 | IV | Poem AV |

Yes the centre and right columns look good: central alignment for the Roman numerals is good. Are the columns obliged to have titles? almost- instinct 15:56, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I | Poem A |
II | Poem AA |
III | Poem AAA |

I am wondering about how to indicate the poem has a heading or a first line. Another column for this? Snowman ( talk) 16:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes The North Ship isn't looking perfect. I think whether the poem is titled or not is sufficiently indicated by there being inverted commas or not. These new inverted commas stand away from the words better, so I think that's clear enough. almost- instinct 16:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Those italics you've removed weren't there by accident: they were Larkin's own almost- instinct 22:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
