About this product
Product Information
Ted Hughes's Birthday Letters are addressed, with just two exceptions, to Sylvia Plath, the American poet to whom he was married. They were written over a period of more than twenty-five years, the first a few years after her suicide in 1963, and represent Ted Hughes's only account of his relationship with Plath and of the psychological drama that led both to the writing of her greatest poems and to her death. The book became an instant bestseller on its publication in 1998 and won the Forward Prize for Poetry in the same year.Product Identifiers

Amazing book!
Ted Hughes is my favourite poet, from the minute I first read Bayonet Charge. I’ve always been interested in his life and his marriage with Sylvia Plath and ‘Birthday Letters’ gives me an insight into that. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, Ted Hughes fan or not. He’s an extraordinary poet, one of my main poetic inspirations.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

An Important Collection
A seminal work by a seminal writer. Very emotional and revelatory in discussing his relationship with Sylvia Plath leading up to her death. Certainly worthwhile for fans of both Hughes and Plath.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
