Description

This text provides an introduction to the poetry of Ted Hughes, whose work is concerned with the forces of nature and their interaction with man. It also places Hughes' poems in a theoretical context of significant developments in literary theory that occured during his lifetime, quoting in particular commentary of the French theorists Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva and Roland Barthes. The work features a chronological presentation of Hughes' poems and also includes non-fiction such as "Winter Pollen" and "Shakespeare and the Goddess of Complete Being". It also seeks to provide the reader with a fresh view of Hughes' prosody and on his relations to the "movement" poets and the influence of Sylvia Plath. The poet's interest in myth, shamanism and romanticism, and his Laureateship is considered.
