Introduction
The breakdown of the marriage between Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes was always viewed from two sides: that of Plath or Hughes. This book highlights for the first time the story of a third person: Assia Wevill, Hughes' mistress.
Contents
Assia Wevill shared seven years of her life with Hughes. Like Plath, she – at the age of 42 – tragically took her own life and that of her daughter. This work is based on new, never-before-published documents, such as her diaries and letters to Hughes.
The book A Lover of Unreason sheds new light on Assia's influence on Hughes' poetry and the complex relationship between them, living under the long shadow of Sylvia Plath.
