Associate lecturer Dr Edward Hadley has secured a contract to write the first book-length critical study of the works of Andrew Motion, the former Poet Laureate.
Due to be published in 2013 by Liverpool University Press, Andrew Motion: A Critical Study will draw upon both published and unpublished works, together with manuscripts and correspondence.
Edward, who teaches a number of OU English literature courses in the London and East of England regions, says the book will aim to offer a 'fair and comprehensive appreciation of the works of an often divisive poet'.
Edward has previously published The Elegies of Ted Hughes (Palgrave Macmillan, 2010) and is the founding editor of The Ted Hughes Society Journal.
