4.0 out of 5 stars magic and meaning and nature, July 19, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Poetry of Ted Hughes: Language, Illusion and Beyond (Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature) (Paperback)
This book deals with the depth and power of Ted Hughes writing in a way which is readable, yet sufficiently technical to highlight the mechanisms being used. It draws on French theorists, notable Lacan and Kristeva, to expose the poems as being ultimately a search for meaning amongst an ostensibly wild and natural universe. The themes of myth and magic run deep through the book in a manner which matches Hughes' style very closely. I would recommend this book to all who are interested in looking more deeply at this poet's work.
