Description & Specifications

Sylvia Plath was one of the most talented and innovative poets of the twentieth century, yet serious study of her work has often been hindered by a fierce focus on her life and death.

Tim Kendall aims to correct this by providing a detailed and unbiased examination of her poetry. Using a roughly chronological approach, he explores the unique nature of Plath's poetic talent, identifying an essential unity in her inspiration through references to Letters Home, The Bell Jar, The Journals, stories, and autobiographical memories. He traces the development of recurring themes and her rapid progression from the formal restraint of The Colossus to the pioneering techniques of Ariel.

He demonstrates that Plath was a poet who constantly reinvented herself, experimenting with various styles, forms, and subjects.
