Ted Hughes (17 August 1930 - 28 October 1998) was a British poet, translator, and children's writer. Often regarded as one of the best poets of his generation and one of the greatest writers of the 20th century, he served as Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom from 1984 until his death. In 2008, The Times ranked him fourth in their list of 'The 50 Greatest British Writers Since 1945.' Hughes was married to American poet Sylvia Plath from 1956 until her suicide in 1963. Critics have controversially linked him to her death, shown in later works that explore their troubled relationship.
