To celebrate the publication of Jonathan Bate's new biography 'Ted Hughes: The Unauthorised Life' we were joined by a distinguished panel to discuss life-writing, poetry and the poet.
Seamus Perry (Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford) explores Hughes's seductive personality and poetry, and his 'genius for mythologisation', and describes how Jonathan Bate's new biography humanises Ted Hughes.
Oliver Taplin (Former Fellow and Tutor of Classics at Magdalen College, University of Oxford) discusses Hughes's fertile and unapologetic engagement with the literature of Ancient Greece and Rome, and his direct and fruitful engagement with the theatre.
Anne Farrar Donovan (cousin of Ted Hughes) shares her memories of Ted Hughes and the Farrar family and of Hughes's time in Heptonstall.
In response to audience questions, Jonathan Bate (Provost of Worcester College and Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford) describes how his opinion of Hughes has changed since embarking on the project and the ethics of biography.

Edward James "Ted" Hughes, OM (17 August 1930 -- 28 October 1998) was an English poet and children's writer. Critics routinely rank him as one of the best poets of his generation. Hughes was British Poet Laureate from 1984 until his death.
Hughes was married to American poet Sylvia Plath, from 1956 until her suicide in 1963 at the age of 30. His part in the relationship became controversial to some feminists and (particularly) American admirers of Plath. His last poetic work, Birthday Letters (1998), explored their complex relationship. These poems make reference to Plath's suicide, but none of them addresses directly the circumstances of her death. A poem discovered in October 2010, Last letter, describes what happened during the three days leading up to Plath's suicide.

Plot: In 1956, aspiring American poet 'Sylvia Plath' (qv) meets fellow poet Edward 'Ted Hughes (I)' (qv) at Cambridge, where she is studying. Enthralled with the genius of his writing, Sylvia falls in love with him even before meeting him, and he quickly falls in love with her. They eventually marry. Sylvia quickly learns that others are also enthralled with her husband, for a combination of his good looks, charisma, fame and success. Sylvia lives in her husband's professional shadow as she tries to eke out her own writing career, which doesn't come as naturally to her as it does to Ted. She also suspects him of chronic infidelity. Both issues affect Sylvia's already fragile emotional state, she who once tried to commit suicide earlier in her life. Through her pain and her anger, she does gain minor success as a writer, with a completed semi-autobiographical novel and a few well received collection of poems. Following, she tries to regain some happiness in her life with Ted, but has an alternate plan if that does not work out as she wants.

Sylvia: You probably just think I'm some ghastly American bitch, don't you?::Professor Thomas: God no, I thought you were Canadian.
Sylvia: Sometimes I feel like I'm not... solid. I'm hollow. There's nothing behind my eyes. I'm a negative of a person. It's as if I never - -I never thought anything. I never wrote anything. I never felt anything.
Sylvia: [to Ted, after making love] We're not even two people. Even before we met, we were just these two halves, walking around with big gaping holes in the shape like the other person. And when we found each other we were finally whole. And then it was as if we couldn't stand being happy so we ripped ourselves in half again.
[first lines]::Sylvia: Sometimes I dream the tree, and the tree is my life. One branch is the man I shall marry, and the leaves my children. Another branch is my future as a writer, and each leaf is a poem. Another branch is a good academic career. But as I sit there trying to choose, the leaves bring to turn brown and blow away, until the tree is absolutely bare.

Famous quotes by Ted Hughes:
"Maybe making an extra mortgage payment -- that's a great idea."
"What you're doing is giving the government an interest-free loan."
"They think I should give them my mother's words/To fill the mouth of their monster/Their Sylvia Suicide Doll."
"I wrote a letter to them saying, 'No, I don't want to collaborate,' and they kept coming back. Why would I want to be involved in moments of my childhood which I never want to return to? I want nothing to do with this film. I will never, never in a million years go to see it."
"Good metrical rhymed verse, if it's to grip the imagination and stay readable, has to have, as well as those external formal features, the same dynamo of hidden musical dramatic laws as the apparently free verse."
"Most writers of verse have several different personalities. The ideal is to find a style or a method that includes them all."
"It took the whole of Creation To produce my foot, my each feather: Now I hold Creation in my foot."
"I think the real fascination of fishing to me is certainly more than just fish. It's something to do with the whole world... of your reaction to, your response to water and things living in water, the fascination of flowing water and living things coming up out of it - to grab at you and be grabbed."
"Fishing provides that connection with the whole living world. It gives you the opportunity of being totally immersed, turning back into yourself in a good way. A form of meditation, some form of communion with levels of yourself that are deeper than the ordinary self."
"What happens in the heart simply happens."
"The Bush administration doesn't particularly like public participation. It makes them look bad."
Ted Hughes

To celebrate the publication of Jonathan Bate's new biography 'Ted Hughes: The Unauthorised Life' we were joined by a distinguished panel to discuss life-writing, poetry and the poet.

Ted Hughes - Lovesong
Edward James "Ted" Hughes, OM (17 August 1930 -- 28 October 1998) was an English poet and children's writer. Critics routinely rank him as one of the best poets of his generation. Hughes was British Poet Laureate from 1984 until his death. Hughes was married to American poet Sylvia Plath, from 1956 until her suicide in 1963 at the age of 30. His part in the relationship became controversial to some feminists and (particularly) American admirers of Plath. His last poetic work, Birthday Letters (1998), explored their complex relationship. These poems make reference to Plath's suicide, but none of them addresses directly the circumstances of her death. A poem discovered in October 2010, Last letter, describes what happened during the three days leading up to Plath's suicide. -

To celebrate the publication of Jonathan Bate's new biography 'Ted Hughes: The Unauthorised Life' we were joined by a distinguished panel to discuss life-writing, poetry and the poet.
Seamus Perry (Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford) explores Hughes's seductive personality and poetry, and his 'genius for mythologisation', and describes how Jonathan Bate's new biography humanises Ted Hughes.
Oliver Taplin (Former Fellow and Tutor of Classics at Magdalen College, University of Oxford) discusses Hughes's fertile and unapologetic engagement with the literature of Ancient Greece and Rome, and his direct and fruitful engagement with the theatre.
Anne Farrar Donovan (cousin of Ted Hughes) shares her memories of Ted Hughes and the Farrar family and of Hughes's time in Heptonstall.
In response to audience questions, Jonathan Bate (Provost of Worcester College and Professor of English Literature, University of Oxford) describes how his opinion of Hughes has changed since embarking on the project and the ethics of biography.

Letter to Plath from Ted Hughes
Ted Hughes's Letter to Aurelia Plath, 15 March 1963 Ted Hughes wrote this letter to Sylvia's mother regarding Plath's suicide. Regardless of your opinion toward Ted Hughes and his role in Sylvia Plath's life, the poem reflects a mind capable of deep emotion and beautiful prose. Unfortunately the text of the letter will not fit in the description box, and I am having trouble finding a version online. If anyone has a link to the full letter, let me know. I would love to share it. Richard Armitage does a remarkable reading of this piece. -

Bate, who has just published a much-heralded biography of British poet laureate Ted Hughes, presented the talk, "Ted Hughes: Eco-Warrior, or Eco-Worrier?"
A well-known as a biographer, critic, broadcaster and scholar, Jonathan Bate is Provost of Worcester College and Professor of English Literature in the University of Oxford. He has wide-ranging research interests in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature, Romanticism, biography and life-writing, ecocriticism, contemporary poetry and theatre history. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and the Royal Society of Literature, as well as an Honorary Fellow of St Catharine's College, Cambridge. Before moving to Oxford in 2011, he was a Fellow of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, then King Alfred Professor of English Literature at the University of Liverpool, and then Professor of Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature at the University of Warwick. He is a Governor of the Royal Shakespeare Company, broadcasts regularly for the BBC, writes for the Guardian, Times, TLS and Sunday Telegraph, and has held visiting posts at Yale and UCLA. In 2006 he was awarded a CBE in the Queen's 80th Birthday Honours for his services to higher education and in 2015 he was knighted in the New Year Honours for services to literary scholarship and higher education.
Bate is renowned in the field of ecocriticism, having published what is considered “the first ecological reading of English literature”—his Song of the Earth (Picador/Harvard UP, 2000). Previously, in his Romantic Ecology (Routledge 1991), Bates articulated the conservationist influence of William Wordsworth’s poetry; the work has been enormously influential on later Romanticist work on literature and the environment. In his award-winning biography of John Clare (2003), Bates discussed the laborer-poet’s interest in environmental fragility and ecological change, calling him “an ecologist, before his time; a conservationist.”
Bate is also an advocate for the importance of humanities education. In an interview published in British Academy Review (February 2014), he said “one of the reasons for studying the humanities is precisely that the humanities draw our attention to big, valuable, important things that cannot be contained or constrained within a model of economic benefit. Beauty, truth – these are difficult, abstract concepts, concepts that defy quantification.”

Death Walks Behind You
[Atomic Rooster Cover]
[Bonus Track]
Death walks behind you,
Death walks behind you,
Lock the door, switch the light.
You'll be so afraid tonight.
Hide away from the beast,
Count the nine lives that you had.
Start to scream, shout for help,
There is no one by your side.
To forget what is done,
Seems so hard to carry on.
Death walks behind you,
Death walks behind you,
(Death walks behind you,)
(Death walks behind you.)
Luck is gone, end is near,
Bring yourself to understand,
It's your fate, or what's cast,
Point a finger at yourself.
(Death walks behind you,)
