Timeline
Through his father's mother, Hughes was related to Nicholas Ferrar (1592–1637).
After her son was born, Plath wrote most of the poems that would comprise her most famous collection of poems (the posthumously published Ariel), and published her semi-autobiographical novel about mental illness, The Bell Jar.
Nicholas Farrar Hughes (January 17, 1962 – March 16, 2009) was a British and American fisheries biologist known as an expert in stream salmonid ecology.
He and his sister were public figures as small children due to the circumstances of their mother's widely publicized suicide.
Nicholas was born in North Tawton, Devon, England in 1962.
In the summer of 1962, Ted Hughes began an affair with Assia Wevill; Hughes and Plath separated in the autumn of 1962.
On February 11, 1963, while Nicholas, age one, and his sister Frieda, two and a half, slept upstairs, Plath taped shut the doorframe of the room in which the children slept, then placed towels around the kitchen door to make sure fumes could not escape to harm the children, and died by suicide using the toxic gas from the kitchen oven.
Plath addressed one of her last poems, "Nick and the Candlestick", to her son:
O love, how did you get here?
Remembering, even in sleep
You wake to is not yours.
After their mother Sylvia Plath's 1963 suicide, their father Ted Hughes installed his current lover Assia Wevill in the family home to take care of his & Plath's two children, Frieda & Nicholas.
In 1969, Assia Wevill also committed suicide after killing her 4-year-old child by Hughes.
In 1970 Ted Hughes married his long-time lover Carol Orchard, and the children continued their life on the family farm in Devon.
Despite the posthumous fame of Sylvia Plath, and the growing literary and biographical writings about her death, Nicholas was not told about the circumstances of his mother's suicide until the 1970s.
He attended Oxford University, receiving a BA degree in zoology in 1984.
From 1984 to 1991, he worked in Fairbanks, Alaska as a research assistant at the Alaska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, part of the Biological Resources Division of the United States Geological Survey, and from 1990 to 1991, he was a student intern with the Sportfish Division of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
In 1991, he earned a Ph.D. in biology from University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF).
After receiving his doctorate, Hughes held positions of increasing responsibility, instructing at UAF's School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences in 1991–1992 and working as a research associate with UAF's Institute of Arctic Biology from 1992 to 1998.
He held a post-doctoral fellowship from 1993 to 1995 with the Behavioral Ecology Research Group at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia and was a research associate there from 1995 to 1998.
In 1998, Ted Hughes published Birthday Letters, over 30 years of poems about Plath, which he dedicated to his two children.
In the poem "Life After Death", Hughes recounts how:
The hardest substance of the purest pain
As I fed him in his high white chair.
Hughes was passionate about wildlife, especially fish.
In September 1998, he became an assistant professor in the School of Fisheries and Ocean Science at UAF.
Hughes studied stream salmonid ecology and conducted research both in the Alaska Interior and in New Zealand.
He was a member of the American Fisheries Society.
During his scientific career, Hughes advanced the field of stream ecology as a prominent Alaskan biologist.
According to Fairbanks reporter Dermot Cole:
