- The first full-length monograph devoted entirely to Ted Hughes's environmental writing and activism, combining ecopoetic theory with insights from environmental history and Hughes's extensive archives. It situates Hughes's poetry and conservation activism within the rise of twentieth-century environmentalism, revealing his highly prescient understanding of climate change but critiquing problematic attempts to defend hunting. Using extensive archival research on Hughes's poetry manuscripts, letters and environmental campaign materials from the British Library's recently acquired archive, and from Emory University and University of Cambridge archives. Significant finds include a poem about Sylvia Plath and hunting, published in its entirety for the first time.
