About This Item
Brisbane: [s.n.], 1975. 112pp. Bifold staple-bound journal in the original publisher's illustrated orange card wraps. Smoke staining to card with some associated odour, pages toned though clear of further markings. From the estate of Olwyn Hughes, recently dispersed; the smoke damage is the result of an errant cigarette dropped by Olwyn down the back of her sofa, which caused a serious fire. Hecate is an Australian feminist academic journal founded in 1975. This edition (Vol. 1, no. 2) includes a bibliography of Sylvia Plath compiled by Stuart Cunningham, with thanks given to Olwyn Hughes and Carole Ferrier. Olwyn Hughes (1928-2016) was a translator, agent and literary executor who had worked in Paris for NATO, Martonplay, and King Peter II of Yugoslavia, among others. After the death of her sister-in-law Sylvia Plath, she returned to England to assist her brother, Ted Hughes, raise his young children, though also took over the management of both his career and Plath's literary estate. While she did have some other clients as a literary agent, including Jean Rhys, much of the rest of her life was dedicated to preserving - and defending - both Plath and Hughes. . Volume 1, Number 2.. 8vo.
