A comprehensive exploration of the poetry of Hardy, Yeats, and Larkin, delving into their profound fascination with the themes of time, change, and loss, which have been central to lyric and reflective verse throughout English literary history. While recognizing the significance of the socio-political and ideological contexts, this study prioritizes the literary-history context, providing an introductory survey of foundational Renaissance and Romantic poets whose work deeply influenced Hardy, Yeats, and Larkin. Despite the prevalence of a preoccupation with time and change in their work, no one has previously isolated it for focused examination or used it to establish connections between these poets and their historical predecessors. This groundbreaking approach offers a fresh perspective on their artistic endeavors. Employing an evidential and analytical methodology, the study delves into the profound meanings and moods of each poem, as well as the unique individuality of each poet. By examining these themes within the context of their historical and literary milieu, this study sheds light on the enduring resonance of their work and its profound impact on the world of poetry.
