“Hadley’s primary focus, then, is the development of Ted Hughes’s work. … His intended audience clearly consists of students and scholars interested in a new angle on Hughes’s poetic development. … it offers a telling indicator of the wider development of Hughes’s artistic sensibility.” (Patrick Gill, Symbolism, October, 2016)
'...Hadley is strongest when he follows the established elegiac trope of the river in Hughes' River...in so doing, he not only examines the qualities that might make Hughes' poetry elegiac but also places him in a lineage of established elegists who recuperate the deard to provide both solace and regeneration.' M. Willhardt, Choice
