Letters from a Young Poet: The Final Correspondence of Sylvia Plath

Hughes admitted in an early introduction to Plath’s journals to misplacing or destroying their final volumes (he was fuzzy on the details)—the pages, in other words, that Plath wrote during the last months of her life, and the account that promised, to the appetitive student of her biography, some answer for how and why we lost her. The letters’ second volume, which just came out, begins in October 1956, eight months after Plath met Hughes and four months after she married him, and ends weeks before she killed herself, in 1963. (Little mention of Hughes’s duties, though in one letter to Beuscher Plath mentions how he disliked her requests for chores.)
