Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. "As Jonathan Bate acknowledges in the last chapter of his biography of Ted Hughes, the poet liked to say that literary biographers were 'vampiric', and that famous authors should act together to frustrate their researches. But Hughes did not follow his own doctrine. He took care to preserve thousands of his manuscripts, including journals and letters. Some he sold to Coca-Cola-endowed Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, whose plentiful funds helped make his last years affluent. Many others he left to the British Library, a rich trove for a biographer. He can hardly have wanted them left unread. The main service that Bate has done is to read this huge mass of material with a scholar's ability to date and arrange it. His biography is a first report on what lies in wait in the archive. It is, however, a report that has been hindered and constrained. As has been widely reported, he began his work on a 'literary life' with the support of the Ted Hughes estate, controlled by the poet's widow Carol. Late in the day this support was withdrawn: evidently, his researches were not purely 'literary' enough. Permission for any substantial quotation from Hughes's writing was also withdrawn, and Bate's 'Unauthorised Life' has to grapple with this ban. Some letters have been published, but very many remain unknown. Bate thinks Hughes one of the greatest of literary letter and journal writers; his letters are compared to those of Keats. Like Coleridge, in his journals he was a dedicated and brilliantly sharp-eyed recorder of material that might or might not one day get hammered into poetry, and even the tiny pieces that Bate gives us glitter. In the later years there were good deeds - support for the Arvon Poetry Foundation, campaigns to clean up Devon's rivers - and much hobnobbing with Tory cabinet ministers and members of the royal family. At least Hughes had an excuse: the ruling classes gave him access to prime stretches of fishing river, and fishing had taken over from sex as his ruling passion. Yet Eros still held some sway: Bate tells us that in his late 60s there was a lover whom Hughes visited on his trips to London, and whom he was seeing when he was taken mortally ill. It is evident that Hughes carried on telling himself tales from myth about the desires that drove him. This scrupulous and lucid biography makes it all seem like muddle and self-deception, tormenting to himself and the many who loved him." - John Mullan.

Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket photo by R. A. Kearton, endpapers after the Hubble deep field image (illustrator). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression with '1' on copyright page. Some edge wear and slight fraying to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners rubbed and bruised, some slight yellowing to page block, some faint spotting to page fore edges, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg copy. 149pp. 'Boneland' concludes the story that began over fifty years ago in 'The Weirdstone of Brisingamen'. If the sleeper wakes, the dream dies. Professor Colin Whisterfield spends his days at Jodrell Bank, using the radio telescope to look for his lost sister in the Pleiades. At the same time, and in another time, the Watcher cuts the rock and dances, to keep the sky above the earth and the stars flying. Colin can't remember and he remembers too much. Before the age of twelve years and nine months is a blank. After that he recalls everything, where he was, what he was doing, in every minute of every hour of every day. But Colin will have to remember what happened when he was twelve if he wants to find his sister. And the Watcher will have to find the Woman. Otherwise the skies will fall, and there will be only winter, wanderers and moon. An astonishing and disturbing exploration of the nature of memory, trauma and loss. A future classic, now quite scarce.
