Photograph: Everett Collection/Alamy Stock PhotoNine letters written after Plath discovered her husband’s infidelity with their friend Assia Wevill in July 1962, form the core of the collection. Yorkshire-born Hughes had met Plath, a Fulbright scholar, while they were students at Cambridge University in 1956. Plath was buried in a grave that read Sylvia Plath Hughes, at Hughes’s insistence. Plath scholars hailed the letters and archive as a remarkable source of new information about Plath, whose collected letters are soon to be published by Faber, with the first of two volumes due out on 5 October.
