Krátky popis
The Letters of Sylvia Plath Volume I: 1940-1956 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&,nbsp,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&,nbsp,The Journals of Sylvia Plath
1950-1962, provide comprehensive footnotes and an extensive index
informed by their meticulous research. Alongside a selection of
photographs and Plath's own line-drawings, the editors masterfully
contextualise what the pages disclose. This selection of early
correspondence marks the key moments of Plath's adolescence,
including childhood hobbies and high school boyfriends, her
successful but turbulent undergraduate years at Smith College, the
move to England and Cambridge University, and her meeting and
marrying Ted Hughes, including a trove of unseen letters
post-honeymoon, revealing their extraordinary creative partnership.
