Despite the fame Ted Hughes's poetry has achieved, there has been
surprisingly little critical writing on his children's literature.
This book identifies the importance of Hughes's children's writing
from an ecocritical perspective and argues that the healing
function that Hughes ascribes to nature in his children's
literature is closely linked to the development of his own sense of
environmental responsibility. This book will be the first sustained
examination of Hughes's greening in relation to his writing for
children, providing a detailed reading of Hughes's children's
literature through his poetry, prose and drama as well as his
critical essays and letters. In addition, it also explores how
Hughes's children's writing is a window to the poet's own emotional
struggles, as well as his environmental consciousness and concern
to reconnect a society that has become alienated from nature. This
book will be of great interest to not only those studying Ted
Hughes, but also students and scholars of environment and
literature, ecocriticism, children's literature and
twentieth-century literature.
