Plath and Hughes: Reshaping the Narrative

Fans and critics alike have read Plath’s poetry and journals to try to glean an insight into the notions of passion, obsession and abuse which pervaded her and Hughes’ domestic life. It has been argued that Hughes’ alleged abuse, manipulation and numerous infidelities were the ultimate cause of Plath’s suicide, leading many feminist critics in the 1970’s to openly point the blame at Hughes.
