SPOKEN ROMANCE: Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes

The British Library has acquired for its archives a first edition of the literary magazine, Saint Botolph's Review, which was founded in part by Ted Hughes. Their copy is stained by wine.

The Library has also released a recording that features the voices of Hughes and Sylvia Plath, who first met at a party to celebrate the Review's debut. In the tape, the two poets discuss their early courtship and marriage, as well as that first night's acquaintance. To see it, hear it, FOLLOW.
