News at Eleven: Many great poets, from Milton to Keats,

Byron and Blake, are remembered in Westminster Abbey, or with grand monuments erected by admirers. Plath's own husband, the late poet laureate, Ted Hughes, is already commemorated by a granite monolith, placed secretly, by special permission of Prince Charles, on a remote site on the Duchy of Cornwall Dartmoor estates following his death from cancer in 1998. Early next year his name will join those honoured inside the abbey at Poets' Corner.
