News at Eleven: The daughter of Ted Hughes,

the former poet laureate, has challenged the view that he destroyed her mother Sylvia Plath by his infidelity. Frieda Hughes dismisses "myths" about her father's behaviour towards Plath, claiming instead that his mother-in-law poisoned their marriage.

The claim has sparked a literary row, with others who knew Hughes and Plath well disputing Frieda's view.
