Casper Hughes
Ted Hughes: The Life of a Poet by Elaine Feinstein is a biography that explores the life and work of Ted Hughes, the renowned poet who dominated English poetry for decades. The book delves into his relationships with Sylvia Plath and Assia Wevill, both of whom committed suicide, as well as his upbringing in Yorkshire and his time at Cambridge. However, the biography is constrained by its reluctance to delve too deeply into certain aspects of Hughes' life and is ultimately unable to fully shatter the myth surrounding him and his late wife, Sylvia Plath.
