Ted Hughes, Class and Violence Book Information:

widely regarded as a major figure in twentieth-century poetry, but the impact of Hughess 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 Hughess early poems, Hughess relationship with Seamus Heaney, the Laureateship, and Hughess revisiting of his relationship with Sylvia Plath in Birthday Letters (1998), are reconsidered in terms of Hughess class background. Drawing on the thinking of cultural theorists such as Slavoj iek, 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.
