Les Mots et le Monde de Ted Hughes – Rubrique « L e marché des idées »
The words and the world of Ted Hughes

Summary/Abstract: From his earliest writings onwards, Hughes has shown a deep aversion for language or what could be called dead language, which he associates with sight. He valorises instead sound, music, animal cries, and silence. The world, for him, is what emerges from the meeting between earth and words when these words are animated by an elemental force like the poetic imagination.
