Some letters are easier to read, more inviting, personal yet accessible. Perhaps Ted Hughes' letters are of the latter ilk.Yet I ask myself what has been written about Mr. Hughes that doesn't include his relationship to Sylvia Plath. Nothing I've ever read.
And would Ms. Plath have become a well known name and popular writer of poems and "The Bell Jar" if she hadn't decided that writing was enough?
I ask myself this question not only about this relationship of two writers, but other famous or infamous personalities.
What made them famous? And would they have been well known and highly regarded if they had thrived to their natural majority?
