I was asked to put up the following note:
»Ted Hughes' birthplace, 1 Aspinall Street, Mytholmroyd, Yorkshire, is shortly to go on the market. The owner is anxious that it should be bought by someone with an interest in Hughes. It could be very profitably run as a bed-and-breakfast, given the number of visitors from all over the world to ›the Hughes country‹, numbers which will no doubt increase a great deal when the Ted Hughes Poetry Centre opens within walking distance. For details e-mail the owner at sarahcmailbox-tedhughes<a>yahoo.com«.
You will find further details under www.tedhughes.org.

Viking kindly sent a review copy of Diane Middlebrook's new book Her Husband. Hughes and Plath — A Marriage.
Though I'm only half-way through, I think I can safely say it's the most well-researched book on the topic I've seen, very readable and with many a rigorously considered idea. Recommended.
Review.
