剧情介绍
Ted Hughes is widely recognised as one of the greatest poets of the 20th century. Now, for the first time, his life and the breadth and influence of his poetry will be the focus of a major documentary for BBC Two.
Featuring the first television interview with Frieda Hughes - poet, artist and daughter of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Path - alongside a rich seam of testimony from family members, friends, fellow poets and writers, this film will illuminate one of the 20th century’s most controversial and elusive cultural figures and focus on how his life story shaped his vision as a poet.
Hughes' stature as a poet of huge significance is incontrovertible, yet so often during his lifetime attention was focused on the turbulent events in his personal life. Love and work collided with tragic consequences during his marriage to Sylvia Plath and he was forced to weather a storm of speculation over her suicide and that of his lover Assia Wevill. Yet as the film will show, the interconnection between life and creativity was at the heart of Hughes’ evolution as a poet.
Ted Hughes - Stronger Than Death will explore the passions and impulses behind Hughes’ unique poetic voice. Drawing on nature, mythology, ancient lore and the occult, his work cast a spell over readers from the publication of his first volume of poetry in 1957. It was a voice that took on an increasingly personal tone, culminating in the searing power of Birthday Letters, his final volume and only account of his relationship with Plath.
By talking to those who bore witness to his life and work, the programme will seek to answer some of the questions that have for the past five decades haunted his legacy and his reputation.
