Abstract Ted Hughes is a major English poet who is widely known as a poet of violence. Through his poetic career he used violence to reach the answer to his poetic quest. This quest restores the role of poetry as a means of reaching man’s subconscious in order to save him from disintegration. So the aim of this thesis is to find out the reasons behind Hughes’s concept of violence and to understand how he uses violence to reach an end for his quest. The thesis will shed light on the changes that English society has undergone through and after the two World Wars and how these changes were reflected in Hughes’s poetic vision. Then the study will divide Hughes’s poetic career into three stages. At each stage the research will examine the development of his concept of violence and the different ways he uses to reinforce this concept. |
