Description

How £12,000 auction purchase has helped academics in the Ted Hughes Network assemble world’s most extensive Ted Hughes collection.

Dr Steve Ely, who directs the Ted Hughes Network at the university, says researchers led by Professor Malay have quickly established what is a “unique archive and a unique repository for research” after beginning a global search for rare editions of his work last year. “There may be private collectors who have it all but we think we have the most publicly,” he says.
