The first essay to analyze Hughes\u0027s strategies as an annotator and their relationship to his pedagogical strategies, Amanda Golden\u0027s article ncludes images of the copy of Fyodor Dostoevsky\u0027s \u003Cem\u003ECrime and Punishment\u003C\/em\u003E that Sylvia Plath annotated to teach in her freshman literature course at Smith College in 1958 and Hughes subsequently inscribed with his own markings and comments for his Great Books course at the University of Massachusetts. As Plath had already filled the margins with a thorough response to the novel\u0027s characters and themes, Hughes added quick notes to view while teaching. Plath and Hughes\u0027s shared copy of \u003Cem\u003ECrime and Punishment\u003C\/em\u003E,housed with Hughes\u0027s personal library in Emory Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library records both poets\u0027 reading styles and presents an extensive record of their parallel approaches to literary criticism and pedagogy.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;Jules Chametzky arrived at UMass, Amherst in 1958, following Hughes and Plath\u0027s departure for Boston. In \u0022Ted Hughes, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and an Interview with Jules Chametzky,\u0022 Chametzky contextualizes Hughes\u0027s teaching at UMass, addressing the curriculum and the surrounding academic climate. Chametzky also recalls his later friendship with Hughes and his interest in Isaac Bashevis Singer\u0027s fiction. Golden\u0027s introduction to the interview provides an overview of Hughes\u0027s reading of Singer and its relationship to the responses of Plath and Hughes to Jewish subject matter in their poetry and prose.\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"\u0022Ted Hughes and the Midcentury American Academy\u0022 addresses Hughes\u0027s teaching at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in the spring of 1958."}],"uid":"27725","created_gmt":"2013-03-04 18:11:19","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 03:13:44","author":"Carol Senf","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","dateline":{"date":"2013-03-04T00:00:00-05:00","iso_date":"2013-03-04T00:00:00-05:00","tz":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"1283","name":"School of Literature, Media, and Communication"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"171258","name":"Sylvia Plath"},{"id":"60421","name":"Ted Hughes"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:amanda.golden@lmc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Eamanda.golden@lmc.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
