| description | Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis, an English best-seller of the late 1980s, established Cope's reputation as a parodist of canonical poetic styles. Yet, in some ways, her writing is subservient to the canon: her style is heavily indebted to the poetics of the Movement, and her seeming obsession with the writing of "the forefathers" betrays a desire to gain a place in the masculine literary establishment. However, Wendy Cope's attitude to poetic tradition is not without ambivalence. This article analyses Cope's use of postmodernist pastiche, and discusses the possible implications of her style from a feminist point of view. |
