Sinopsis

This bookáis the first book devoted entirely to Hughes as an environmental activist and writer. Drawing on the rapidly-growing interest in poetry and the environment, the book deploys insights from ecopoetics, ecocriticism and Anthropocene studies to analyse how HughesâÇÖs poetry reflects his environmental awareness. HughesâÇÖs understanding of environmental issues is placed within the context of twentieth-century developments in âÇÖgreenâÇÖ ideology and politics, challenging earlier scholars who have seen his work as apolitical. The unique strengths of this book lie in its combination of cutting-edge insights on ecocriticism with extensive work on the British LibraryâÇÖs new Ted Hughes archive. It will appeal to readers who enjoy HughesâÇÖs work, as well as students and academics.
