Plath: restored [US]:
Before her death, Plath left a typed manuscript titled Ariel on her desk, along with the 19 poems she'd written after completing it. But when Hughes published Ariel in Britain two years later, he disregarded Plath's MS, both changing the order in which she'd arranged the poems and replacing 14 of them with 13 of his own selection. (In the 1966 U.S. edition, he replaced 12 pieces with 14 others.) The extent of his alterations was revealed in 1981, when, in the notes to Plath's Collected Poems, Hughes printed the contents list from the Ariel manuscript.
