British Library buys archive of poet Ted Hughes - Salon.com: "Hughes sold the bulk of his papers to Emory University in Atlanta, which had long shown an interest in his work. His wife Carol Hughes said she was delighted some of his archive would stay in Britain.

'Ted was a man of these islands — their landscapes, rivers and wild places — and it is fitting that papers covering such an important part of his creative life should be deposited with such a prestigious institution here in Britain,' she said.

The library said it hoped to have the archive catalogued and available to researchers by the end of next year."
