Ted Hughes
Article Abstract:
Poet Ted Hughes used his position as Poet Laureate to oppose despiritualised civilisation and promote the imagination. Hughes was keen to secure his privacy and his private persona was different to how he portrayed himself in public. He attended Pembroke College, Cambridge, on a scholarship, initially reading English but later transferring to anthropology and archaeology. Hughes convincingly portrayed the experience of sense in his poetry, and he was continuously accused of being attracted to violence.

Patricia Beer
Article Abstract:
Patricia Beer was an English poet who was born in 1919 and studied at Exeter and Oxford universities before teaching English literature in Italy. She then taught at Goldsmith's College, London, England, before taking up writing full-time. Her dark humor and sharp powers of observation are evident in her early works, though she herself was critical of these. Her last work was 'Autumn', published in 1998, and is both rich, like her early works, as well as sharp, a characteristic of her later works.
