		Hobsbaum became, as he put it in his Who’s Who in Scotland entry, “chairman of a number of literary groups in London, 1955-59”, which is a fairly modest summation of his activities as founder and driving spirit of “the Group”.
		Hobsbaum’s correspondence and manuscripts relating to the Group, 1955-68, was bought by the University of Texas in 1974 and are held at the Harry Ranson Humanities Research Centre, Austin.
		Hobsbaum was subsequently dismissive of the poem, claiming that its inclusion in the Oxford Book reflected Larkin’s own predilections, which may be true, but it is also true that Hobsbaum’s poems in general are hardly uplifting in their view of sexual relations; there are few contenders here for a soppily romantic reading.

		In 1962, Hobsbaum taught at Queen's University in Belfast, but left in 1966 when Northern Ireland was on the verge of civil war--a time and place that pervades his poetry.
		The Group had no manifesto per se and was not tied to traditional formalism, but Hobsbaum and consequently The Group itself were influenced by a university approach to close readings of the text.
		Hobsbaum later established a similar group in Belfast, one that has been credited with facilitating the emergence of, among others, Michael Longley, Derek Mahon, and Seamus Heaney.

	The Group (literature) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In November 1952 while at Downing College, Cambridge University, Philip Hobsbaum along with two friends — Tony Davis and Neil Morris — dissatisfied with the way poetry was read aloud in the university, decided to place a notice in the undergraduate newspaper Varsity for people interested in forming a poetry discussion group.
		Lucie-Smith wrote, in a letter to Hobsbaum dated November 1961: 'This is a group of poets who find it possible to meet and discuss each other's work helpfully and without backbiting or backscratching…we have no axe to grind — this isn't a gang and there's no monolithic body of doctrine to which everyone must subscribe'.
		Edward Lucie-Smith and Philip Hobsbaum edited The Group Anthology, London, Oxford University Press, (1963); in the foreword the aim is described of writing 'frank autobiographical poems' and a 'poetry of direct experience'.

		In the Belfast Writers' Group, founded in 1963, his original contributions were limited to verse translations, but his presence was indispensable, as was his organising work.
		A valued friend to poets since his Barcelona days, he now won esteem from Philip Hobsbaum, Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley and many others.
		Friends will remember Arthur's love of music and his delight, in his mid-seventies, in finding the right piano teacher; his recidivist pipesmoking; his mildly subversive yet unmalicious humour and the warmly welcoming, richly spontaneous family life he and his wife Molly created.

	Seamus Heaney
		Recently arrived from England, Hobsbaum - who had studied under F.R. Leavis in Cambridge and William Empson in Sheffield - was intent on doing in Belfast what he had earlier done in London, bringing poets together for regular meetings at which their work would be read out and criticized.
		As in the earlier case, so in this, the circle of poets came to be known as 'The Group', and besides Heaney it included Michael Longley, Derek Mahon, Stewart Parker and James Simmons.
		In 1964, Hobsbaum sent some of the poems that had been discussed by the Group in Belfast to Edward Lucie-Smith, an old associate of the Group in London.

		However, the couple’s marriage does not satisfactorily resolve the conflict; quite the contrary, the marriage of these two characters highlights the irony and promotes the satire with which Lawrence has imbued his novel.
		Of the trio of rings Rupert casually hands Ursula—a sapphire and a topaz as well as the opal—only the opal fits her ring finger.
		A close analysis of the characters in this work and of Lawrence’s ideas of modern man’s divided nature reveals that this novel is a highly complex satire of that divided nature.
