plath, sylvia

Presents a novelized account of the last months of poet Sylvia Plath's life after she left her marriage and tried to make a new home for her two young children while completing a collection of poems and struggling to maintain her mental equilibrium.

With photographs and an extensive list of facts and sources, a collection of poems captures the story of the life, personal struggles, and suicide of this celebrated author.

On February 25, 1956, twenty-three-year-old Sylvia Plath walked into a party and immediately saw Ted Hughes, who would go on to marry her and obscure her life and work. But long before she met Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath already had lived a troubled, complex, creative, and disturbing life. This is the first book to focus on the early life of Sylvia Plath.

"A biography of writer Sylvia Plath that describes her era, her major works--the novel The Bell Jar and her poetry--her life, and the legacy of her writing"--Provided by publisher.
