<![CDATA[Her Husband: Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath - A Marriage]]>
31412
11
Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath were husband and wife; they were also two of the most remarkable poets of the twentieth century. In this stunning new account of their marriage, Diane Middlebrook draws on a trove of newly available papers to craft a beautifully written portrait of Hughes as a man, as a poet, and as a husband haunted—and nourished—his entire life by his relationship to Sylvia Plath. <P> <I>Her Husband</I> is a triumph of the biographer's art and an up-close look at a couple who saw each other as the means to becoming who they wanted to be: writers and mythic representations of a whole generation. <P>

Her Husband, I was disappointed.
"This is all the stuff I already know," I thought. "St. Botolph's...black marauder...pushy American girl...I've read this all before. Where's the new stuff?"

Picked up this title on a whim, enjoyed it tremendously. Diane Middlebrook is easily one of the best biographers of her generation, easily seeing the Hughes/Plath union from multiple angles and timeframes. I learned quite a bit about their lives and careers, read it if you enjoy the work of e...more...]]>

Diane Middlebrook is an excellent writer and biographer. I still remember being enthralled as a teenager by her biography of the poet Anne Sexton. Back then I was also a huge Sylvia Plath fan so perhaps I would have enjoyed this book more as a 19 year old.

Still a mystery.
No, I'm not obsessed! Why would you think that?!]]>

I really enjoyed this biography. It didn't blame Ted Hughes too much for Sylvia Plath's death, as much as it made them both seem completely and totally batshit crazy. But that's probably fair. The first time ...more...]]>
