  Article:   PECULIARITIES OF STYLE IN TED HUGHES’ GAUDETE.

Authors:  PATRICIA MERFU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  Gaudete – the story of Reverend Lumb, vicar of an English village, who was abducted by spirits and taken to the underworld - is a completely singular work that cannot be read with the usual literary preconceptions. It is a genuine break-through in its abandonment of conventional poetic technique. If Hughes’s technique is not at all conventional in this book, then what does it consist of? Gaudete is a mixture of prose and poetry and therefore style is not at all homogeneous. Our purpose is to describe how style changes (style in the Epilogue poems differs from that in the Main Narrative), to exemplify the stylistic devices which are responsible for the particular stylistic aspect and to concentrate on the importance of these stylistic devices for the literary interpretation.
