Ted Hughes married Sylvia Plath in 1956, at the outset of their brilliant careers. Plathˇ¦s suicide six and a half years later, for which many held Hughes accountable, changed his life, his closest relationships, his standing in the literary world, and brought new significance to his poetry. In this stunning new biography of their marriage, Diane Middlebrook renders a portrait of Hughes as man, as poet and as a husband haunted ˇV and nourished ˇV his entire life by the aftermath of his first marriage. Drawing on a trove of newly available papers, Her Husband is a triumph of the biographerˇ¦s art and craft.
