Gerald Hughes
Emory University has made an addition to the Gerald Hughes papers, which includes significant new family material which casts light on the family origins and life of his brother Ted Hughes. Among the new materials are letters from Edith (Farrar) Hughes, William Henry Hughes, and Hilda Farrar, Edith's sister, to Gerald Hughes and his family, written between 1952 and 1997. This correspondence from Gerald and Ted Hughes's mother, father and aunt provides further insight into the life and work of Ted Hughes and also offers more extensive details of the relationships between the Hughes family members. The addition also consists of writings by Edith (Farrar) Hughes, including an untitled poem and a narrative recollection of her childhood, early family photographs of Edith and William Henry Hughes and their parents, and several photographs of important landmarks which document Ted Hughes's legacy as Poet Laureate of England from 1984 to his death in 1998. Finally, two films shot by Gerald Hughes in 1964 during a visit to England, one of which contains rare footage of Assia Wevill and Ted Hughes in London during the changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace, round out the addition. “New Covenants” Symposium on Feb.1 explores Special Collections Responsibilities and New Frontiers
