with him. Career After purchasing some literary magazines, Hartley's husband decided to establish a Hull-based quarterly review poetry magazine called Listen, with the name coming from Hartley after Poetry Hull was rejected for sounding " too provincial". She was made the magazine's co-editor and business manager, which gained national readership and featured contributions from The Movement poets such as Philip Larkin in its second edition. Determined to publish poetry volumes, Hartley and her husband began Marvell Press in 1954, partly named after the poet Andrew Marvell, and because "it would be a bloody marvel if we managed to publish a book." Larkin, whom she became lifelong friends with, was invited to be their first author and the book, The Less Deceived, was published in November 1958. Due to the company lacking the necessary finances, subscriptions were advertised to pay for publication expenses. Hartley went on to publish volumes on the works of Anthony Thwaite, Donald Davie and W. D. Snodgrass, and ventured into sound recording with the publication of The Less Deceived in 1959 and The Whitsun Weddings six years later (the book appeared under the imprint label Faber and Faber in 1964). In 1965, Hartley was impatient over how Larkin's poems were read by over-elocuted actors on the BBC Third Programme that she and her husband formed the record company Listen Records. The marriage between her and her husband so strained that by mid-1968, they separated, taking the two children with her; they were divorced in 1974. Hartley left Marvell Press the same year, to enroll on a course in English Literature at the University of Hull; Larkin set-up a grant scheme for her to live on, and wrote a reference for her entry into the university. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1971. Soon after graduation, Hartley was accepted to read a Bachelor of Philosophy course in Victorian Studies. She graduated in 1972, and took up a job teaching English at the renamed Amy Johnson School. From 1974 to 1991, Hartley lectured at the Hull College of Further Education. Later life and death She published her autobiography, Philip Larkin, the Marvell Press, and Me, in 1989, and wrote the BBC Radio 4 programme The Wayward Girls that was broadcast on 4 November 1992, which discusses single parenthood in Hull during the 1950s. Hartley promoted the poet's Frank Redpath and the poetry magazine editor Ted Tarling
