Summary; At the outset of his career Ted Hughes described letter writing as 'excellent training for conversation with the world', and he was to become a prolific master of this art which combines writing and talking. This selection begins when Hughes was seventeen, and documents the course of a life at once resolutely private but intensely attuned to other lives (including a readership comprising both adults and children): a life pared down to essentials and yet eventful, peripatetic, at times publicly controversial. Subjects; Hughes, Ted 1930-1998. Hughes, Ted 1930-1998 - Correspondence. Poets, English - 20th century - Correspondence. Essays, journals, letters & other prose works.
