Does it matter when and where a poem was written? Or on what kind
of paper? How do the author's ideas about inspiration or how a poem
should be written precondition the moment of putting pen to paper?
This monograph explores these questions in offering the first
full-length study of Ted Hughes's poetic process. Hughes's
extensive archives held in the UK and US form the basis of the
book's unique exploration of his writing process. It analyses
Hughes's techniques throughout his career, arguing that his
self-conscious experimentation with the processes by which he wrote
profoundly affected both the style and subject matter of his work.
The book considers Hughes's changing ideas about how poetry 'ought'
to be written, discussing how these affect his creative process. It
presents a fresh exploration of Hughes's major collections across
the span of his career to build a detailed illustration of how his
writing methods altered. The book thus restores the materiality of
paper and ink to Hughes's poems, reading their histories, the
stories they tell of their composition, and of the intellectual and
creative environments in which they were gestated, born and
matured. In the process, it offers a template for new approaches in
authorship studies, reframing one of the twentieth century's most
iconic literary figures through the unseen histories of his
creative process.
