Description

Ted Hughes is widely regarded as a major figure in twentieth-century poetry, but the impact of Hughes s class background on his work has received little attention. This is the first full length study to take the measure of the importance of class in Hughes. It presents a radically new version of Hughes that challenges the image of Hughes as primarily a nature poet, as well as the image of the Tory Laureate. The controversy over 'natural violence in Hughes s early poems, Hughes s relationship with Seamus Heaney, the Laureateship, and Hughes s revisiting of his relationship with Sylvia Plath in Birthday Letters (1998), are reconsidered in terms of Hughes s class background. Drawing on the thinking of cultural theorists such as Slavoj i ek, Terry Eagleton, and Julia Kristeva, the book presents new political readings of familiar Hughes poems, alongside consideration of posthumously collected poems and letters, to reveal a surprising picture of a profoundly class-conscious poet.
