Letters of Sylvia Plath Volume I

Autor: Sylvia Plath

Número de Páginas: 1220

Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) was one of the writers that defined the course of twentieth-century poetry. Her vivid, daring and complex poetry continues to captivate new generations of readers and writers. In the Letters, we discover the art of Plath's correspondence, most of which has never before been published and is here presented unabridged, without revision, so that she speaks directly in her own words. Refreshingly candid and offering intimate details of her personal life, Plath is playful, too, entertaining a wide range of addressees, including family, friends and professional contacts, with inimitable wit and verve. The letters document Plath's extraordinary literary development: the genesis of many poems, short and long fiction, and journalism. Her endeavour to publish in a variety of genres had mixed receptions, but she was never dissuaded. Through acceptance of her work, and rejection, Plath strove to stay true to her creative vision. Well-read and curious, she offers a fascinating commentary on contemporary culture. Leading Plath scholars Peter K. Steinberg and Karen V. Kukil, editor of The Journals of Sylvia Plath 1950-1962, provide comprehensive footnotes and an...

The Poems of Sylvia Plath

Autor: Sylvia Plath

Número de Páginas: 1073

' When I think of Sylvia Plath, I am in awe of her intelligence, her language, her wit, her consonantal music - her sheer gift, and what must have been her drive, as its guardian, possessor, possessee, to realise it. ' Sharon Olds The Poems of Sylvia Plath is a landmark publication: the definitive edition of the poet's work for scholars, students and general readers. Sylvia Plath's first Collected Poems was published in 1981. This new volume draws on decades of research and almost doubles the content of that edition. The book is in two parts: the first contains the poems Plath composed in the last ten years of her life and upon which her reputation is founded, and the second includes those poems written in childhood and through her student years. In both sections, the editors have dated, corrected and arranged each poem chronologically, drawing on manuscripts, typescripts and related archival material. Critical notes document and cast new light on Plath's extraordinary evolution as a poet, from her childhood compositions, through the early blossoming of her talent and ambition, and into the molten core that was to shape the poems of her last few years, securing her place in...

The Journals of Sylvia Plath

Autor: Sylvia Plath

Número de Páginas: 393

The electrifying diaries that are essential reading for anyone moved and fascinated by the life and work of one of America's most acclaimed poets. Sylvia Plath began keeping a diary as a young child. By the time she was at Smith College, when this book begins, she had settled into a nearly daily routine with her journal, which was also a sourcebook for her writing. Plath once called her journal her “Sargasso,” her repository of imagination, “a litany of dreams, directives, and imperatives,” and in fact these pages contain the germs of most of her work. Plath’s ambitions as a writer were urgent and ultimately all-consuming, requiring of her a heat, a fantastic chaos, even a violence that burned straight through her. The intensity of this struggle is rendered in her journal with an unsparing clarity, revealing both the frequent desperation of her situation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons.

Linda Wagner-Martin's emphasis in this study is the way Sylvia Plath made herself into a writer. In keeping with the critic's early ground-breaking work on American poet William Carlos Williams, she here studies elements of Plath's work with dedication to discussions of style and effect. Her close analysis of Plath's reading and her apprenticeship writing both in fiction and poetry sheds considerable light into Plath's work in the late 1960s. The book concludes with a section assessing Sylvia Plath's current standing.

A unique and invaluable collection of the young Sylvia Plath’s drawings from important and formative years in her life: 1955-1957 Sylvia Plath: Drawings is a portfolio of pen-and-ink illustrations created during the transformative period spent at Cambridge University, when Plath met and secretly married poet Ted Hughes, and traveled with him to Paris and Spain on their honeymoon, years before she wrote her seminal work, The Bell Jar.

La Mujer En Silencio. Sylvia Plath Y Ted Hughes

Autor: Janet Malcolm

Número de Páginas: 224

Sylvia Plath has been one of the great literary figures of the twentieth century, whose work has not yet exhausted the inspiration of her readers. But behind the appearance of the beautiful, blonde American housewife, with which the poet liked to present herself in her most successful years, are hidden the tragic and problematic features of a fragile, passionate and ambitious woman, who does not easily integrate into her myth. Separated from her husband Ted Hughes, she committed suicide out of jealousy at the age of 30. To the fame of her poems was added the notoriety of the tragedy, which tempted many to write their versions of the story. Janet Malcolm interrogates various people who once had something to do with Sylvia Plath to reconstruct the plot of memories and speculations. With her excellent narrative style, the author unmasks the indiscretion, the lust for scandal and half-truths about the poet and her marriage, her encounters with Plath's biographers, the strange manipulation of her legacy, jealously guarded by her husband, all in a critical and brilliant lesson on biography as a literary genre, which one would say leads to a new genre: A metabiography, constructed as a...

La Femme silencieuse - Sylvia Plath et Ted Hughes

Autor: Janet Malcolm

Número de Páginas: 217

Après avoir étudié les liens troubles de l'enquêteur et de son sujet dans l'éblouissant Journaliste et l'assassin, Janet Malcolm, figure emblématique de la littérature du réel, propose dans La Femme silencieuse une méditation sur l'art de la biographie. Au travers de la relation du couple Ted Hughes et Sylvia Plath, et des tentatives biographiques dont ils ont fait l'objet, elle décrypte les vies racontées de la poétesse afin d'écrire non pas sur la vie tragique d'une artiste mais plutôt sur le devenir posthume de son œuvre, et la façon dont se raconte son histoire. Elle examine la relation ambiguë entre Sylvia Plath et son mari, le poète Ted Hughes qui, en tant qu'exécuteur testamentaire, a tenté de servir deux causes : l'art de son ancienne épouse et son propre besoin d'intimité, et comment il poussa sa propre sœur, Olwyn Hughes à devenir l'agent littéraire de la défunte pour se protéger en limitant l'accès à l'œuvre de Plath. Cas limite questionnant l'invisibilisation ou l'appropriation dont font l'objet les œuvres littéraires dès lors qu'elles sont signées d'une femme. Alors même que Janet Malcolm se montre sceptique quant aux prétentions...
