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.
