We are half way through the year just about and perhaps this blog post should have come earlier. However, with the recent publication of an important new book about Ted Hughes, let us take a look at the scheduled publications this year...
Ted Hughes in Context, edited by Terry Gifford, was published recently on
21 June 2018 by Cambridge University Press.
This collection of essays represents some of the most up-to-date explorations into Ted Hughes's work and life by leading Hughes scholars. Some names are familiar, some are new, which is exciting. It is an expensive volume, but one that I feel will be worth every single penny.
It appears as though Faber is reissuing a bunch of books this autumn and winter by Ted Hughes too including How the Whale Became and Other Tales and The Dreamfighter and Other Creation Tales on 4 October and Collected Animal Poems (four volumes) and Season Songs on 3 January 2019.
In the Sylvia Plath world, you may be living under the stones in Childs Park if you did not know that The Letters of Sylvia Plath, Volume 2: 1956-1963, edited by Peter K. Steinberg and Karen V. Kukil was being published on 6 September 2018 by Faber and 30 October 2018 by HarperCollins.
Looking ahead, it seems that Sylvia Plath Poems Chosen by Carol Ann Duffy is being reissued by Faber on 7 March 2019.
Also, we are anxious for a publication date of Heather Clark's forthcoming Plath biography and there will be a Sylvia Plath in Context volume, too, being edited by Tracy Brain. Not sure of a publication date yet but hopefully in 2019.
