Ted Hughes Breaks His Silence
1998
Overview
The book, published by Faber and Faber, had to be the best-kept literary secret in living memory. Why hadn't the trumpets been blazing away for months? Perhaps in part to protect [Ted Hughes], who had been a reviled figure among feminists since 1963, when [Sylvia Plath] left milk and bread in the bedroom of her daughter and infant son, and laid her head in a gas oven. Hughes had abandoned Plath and the children for another woman. And while he went on to a distinguished career, Plath's death, a month after the publication of her autobiographical novel, \"The Bell Jar,\" made her a celebrated martyr. Several times Hughes's name has been chiseled off Plath's gravestone in Yorkshire, and some feminists still call him a murderer.
