Theme of War and Violence in Ted Hughes’ Poetry

Abstract

Ted Hughes occupies a prominent and towering place among the British poets who contributed a great deal to the development to British poetry. There is no doubt in denying the fact that he deals with the theme of war and violence through animal world as is the case with Rudiyard Kipling and D.H.Lawrence who have used animal imagery in their fictional and poetical works in a very vivid manner, but all these ,including Ted Hughes, indirectly co-relate these imagery to the man’s world.
