Resumen

Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis, un best-seller inglés de finales de los ochenta, consolidó la reputación de Cope como parodista de los estilos poéticos canónicos. Sin embargo, en cierto modo, su escritura está supeditada al canon: su estilo es muy deudor de la poética del Movimiento, y su aparente obsesión por la escritura de «los antepasados» delata un deseo de hacerse un hueco en el establishment literario masculino. Sin embargo, la actitud de Wendy Cope hacia la tradición poética no está exenta de ambivalencia. Este artículo analiza el uso que hace Cope del pastiche posmodernista, y discute las posibles implicaciones de su estilo desde un punto de vista feminista.
