Opis

Ted Hughes is one of the most important twentieth-century British poets, and this book provides a radical reassessment of his relationship to the Christian faith. It will be of interest not only to Hughes specialists, but anyone interested in how religious poetry can and must operate within an increasingly secular culture.

Recenzje

'Ted Hughes and Christianity is a brave, unorthodox and unexpected book - but a very welcome one all the same. Troupes has emphatically made his case that Hughes is a thinker in the Christian tradition - and in his maverick fashion has written a highly entertaining and thought provoking book.'
