Diane Middlebrook
Diane Helen Wood Middlebrook (April 16, 1939 – December 15, 2007)〔Cynthia Haven, ("Diane Middlebrook, professor emeritus and legendary biographer, dies at 68" ), ''Stanford Report'', December 15, 2007.〕 was an American biographer, poet, and teacher. She taught feminist studies for many years at Stanford University. She is best known for critically acclaimed biographies of poets Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath (along with Plath's husband Ted Hughes), and jazz musician Billy Tipton. Middlebrook was preparing a biography of the Roman poet Ovid, to be published in 2008.〔Viking Press had planned to publish the work in 2008 because that would be the two-millennium anniversary of Ovid’s banishment from Rome and of his completion of ''Metamorphoses''.〕〔Middlebrook often referred to Ovid's feat of having work continually in circulation since his death some two thousand years ago, a feat that eludes even Homer.〕 Her death brought that project to a close.
Middlebrook held no illusions about the difficulties facing a biographer. In an interview on her professional life, she said: "With a biography there is no straight line; all is muddled. You don't know what you know, you don't know what you don't know; if you find anything you make a note about it because some day it may find its partner. You have to have very good ways of keeping track of what you have found and where you have put it."
==Early life==
Middlebrook was born Diane Helen Wood, in Pocatello, Idaho, the oldest of three daughters, born to teenage parents. In 1945, the family moved to Spokane, Washington.
