The Elegies of Ted Hughes

The elegiac aspect of Ted Hughes' poetry has been frequently overlooked, an oversight which this book sets out to rectify. Encompassing a broad range of themes, from the decline of nature and local industry to the national grief caused by the First World War, this book is a comprehensive addition to the study of Hughes' poetry.

Edward Hadley is Associate Lecturer in Twentieth-Century Literature, Approaching Literature and Children's Literature at the Open University, UK. He completed his PhD on the poetry of Ted Hughes at Durham University, where he has taught classes on Metaphysical Poetry and Shakespeare.
