The present study uncovers the psychical stakes and dramas involved in Redgrove's practice, and in turn relates these stakes and dramas to the marked element of cultural critique to be found in Redgrove's nonfiction, but which is virtually absent from the poems., 10207, Criticism & Theory, 10204, History & Criticism, 17, Literature & Fiction, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 10159341011, Poetry, 10159334011, Genres & Styles, 10204, History & Criticism, 17, Literature & Fiction, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 10159367011, British & Irish, 271602011, European, 10159358011, Regional & Cultural, 10204, History & Criticism, 17, Literature & Fiction, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 10159388011, European, 10096, British & Irish, 10255, French, 10262, German, 3559094011, Italian, 10279, Norse & Icelandic Sagas, 10296, Spanish, 10159384011, Regional & Cultural, 10248, Poetry, 17, Literature & Fiction, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books<

This text provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the poetry of Peter Redgrove, a highly original and important poet whose work is concerned with the transformations of nature and the human psyche. After an introductory chapter on Redgrove's life and ideas, the poems are considered in chronological order to trace the evolution of this poet's distinctive style. Redgrove's poetic development is related to development in British poetry generally ("the Movement" of the 1950s, the "Martian" school of the late 1970s) and in particular to the work of Ted Hughes, Redgrove's closest point of contact in contemporary poetry. The study shows how Redgrove's image as an English eccentric -- the "Scientist of the Strange" -- is a self-conscious construct of the poems, a wry strategy for engaging the reader. These poems of process are also related throughout to Julia Kristeva's discourse on abjection, poetic language, and the "subject-inprocess" in order to bring to the fore what is most contemporary about Redgrove's practice.
