Ted Hughes: Environmentalist and Ecopoet

More about the book

Focusing on Ted Hughes as an environmental activist, this book explores his poetry through the lenses of ecopoetics, ecocriticism, and Anthropocene studies. It contextualizes his environmental awareness within the evolution of twentieth-century green ideology, countering previous interpretations of his work as apolitical. By integrating contemporary ecocritical insights with extensive research from the Ted Hughes archive at the British Library, it offers a fresh perspective that will attract both fans of Hughes and scholars in the field.
