This paper proposes to classify and analyze the debates on the violence in the poetry of Ted Hughes. Hughes’s early poetry in his oeuvre, which had the epithet of “poetry of violence”, enabled him to cross the threshold of a major English poet of our century. Muir’s phrase ‘admirable violence’ which he used in relation to the imagery of Hughes triggered the debates on the violence. One of the most heated debates concerning the violence in his poetry was on the question whether violence was his main theme or just a subordinate element in a poem’s meaning. Arguing against Rawson’s opinion Hainsworth asserted that violence was not the focus of Hughes’s poetry, though Hughes expressed violence very powerfully in his poems. Rawson counterattacked Hainsworth by refuting his points at issue one by one and insisted that violence was the crucial theme in Hughes’s poetry, though in some poems Hughes showed a humane attitude. Most of the critics who thought that his poetry had a preoccupation with violence as an end-in-itself underestimated his poetry, while the critics who appreciated it regarded violence as a symbol or a metaphor for a deep human psyche or an essential energy of the universe. Hughes himself interpreted ferocious animals in his poetry not just as animals but as symbols of some nature spirit or of man’s nature ‘shoved down to the id’ or of what the reader might want to select.
Abstract
This paper proposes to classify and analyze the debates on the violence in the poetry of Ted Hughes. Hughes’s early poetry in his oeuvre, which had the epithet of “poetry of violence”, enabled him to cross the threshold of a major English poet of our century. Muir’s phrase ‘admirable violence’ which he used in relation to the imagery of Hughes triggered the debates on the violence. One of the most heated debates concerning the violence in his poetry was on the question whether violence was his main theme or just a subordinate element in a poem’s meaning. Arguing against Rawson’s opinion Hainsworth asserted that violence was not the focus of Hughes’s poetry, though Hughes expressed violence very powerfully in his poems. Rawson counterattacked Hainsworth by refuting his points at issue one by one and insisted that violence was the crucial theme in Hughes’s poetry, though in some poems Hughes showed a humane attitude. Most of the critics who thought that his poetry had a preoccupation with violence as an end-in-itself underestimated his poetry, while the critics who appreciated it regarded violence as a symbol or a metaphor for a deep human psyche or an essential energy of the universe. Hughes himself interpreted ferocious animals in his poetry not just as animals but as symbols of some nature spirit or of man’s nature ‘shoved down to the id’ or of what the reader might want to select.
