Originally published in 1985, this study provides a clear and intelligent introduction to the work of the former Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes. The author presents the main works in a broadly chronological order and brings together the most interesting of Hughes’ own critical remarks from interviews, recordings, letters and articles. Throughout the book West emphasizes the drama and the gestures behind the ’verbal surface’ of Hughes’ work and at the same time raises questions of value not just for Hughes’ work but for all poetry, such as, what is myth and what is the purpose of poetry? Many well-known poems are used to illustrate his argument and a small number are examined in depth, making this an indispensable guide to Ted Hughes’ work.
