    Extractions: Sylvia Plath (bio by Bill Gilson) Born to middle class parents in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, Sylvia Plath published her first poem when she was eight. Sensitive, intelligent, compelled toward perfection in everything she attempted, she was, on the surface, a model daughter, popular in school, earning straight A's, winning the best prizes. By the time she entered Smith College on a scholarship in 1950 she already had an impressive list of publications, and while at Smith she wrote over four hundred poems. Plath's surface perfection was however underlain by grave personal discontinuities, some of which doubtless had their origin in the death of her father (he was a college professor and an expert on bees) when she was eight. During the summer following her junior year at Smith, having returned from a stay in New York City where she had been a student ``guest editor'' at Mademoiselle Magazine, Plath nearly succeeded in killing herself by swallowing sleeping pills. She later described this experience in an autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, published in 1963. After a period of recovery involving electroshock and psychotherapy Plath resumed her pursuit of academic and literary success, graduating from Smith with honors and winning a Fulbright scholarship to study at Cambridge, England. In 1956 she married the English poet Ted Hughes, and in 1960, when she was 28, her first book, The Colossus, was published in England. The poems in this book-formally precise, well wrought-show clearly the dedication with which Plath had served her apprenticeship; yet they give only glimpses of what was to come in the poems she would begin writing early in 1961. She and Hughes settled for a while in an English country village in Devon, but less than two years after the birth of their first child the marriage broke apart.

    Extractions: Sylvia Plath's life , and especially her death, have never been fully understood. An acclaimed poet and novelist, she is the golden girl who had everythingbeauty and brains; a great and recognized talent; a family that included a daughter and a son. Yet on a third attempt, she committed suicide in 1963 at age 31. Her best known work is "The Bell Jar", a loosely autobiographical novel about the slow emotional collapse of a young woman working for a prestigious New York magazine on a summer internship.

    Extractions: Genre Poem Keywords Death and Dying Doctor-Patient Relationship Hospitalization Patient Experience ... Women's Health Summary A 30 year-old woman describes with chilling power her three suicide attempts. She compares herself to a cat with nine lives and to a concentration camp victim; yet "dying / is an art . . . / I do it exceptionally well." The doctors/men that save her are the enemy, and she warns them to "beware." Commentary This is one of the poems which made Plath famous posthumously, written during the last half year of her life, before she succeeded in killing herself at age 31. The poems are brilliant, angry, energetic and highly personal (confessional). They may provide insight into the frame of mind of a conflicted, talented woman attempting to make her mark during the period before "woman's lib."

    Extractions: SHORT BIOGRAPHY Sylvia was born in Boston and graduated from Smith College. She married the British poet Ted Hughes in 1956. Her first collection of poems, The Colossus (1960), received less recognition than three edited by her husband after her death. The Collected Poems , published in 1981, received the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1982. A collection of her letters to her mother, Letters Home , was published in 1976. Johnny panic and the Bible of Dreams (1978), is a collection of her short stories and nonfiction. THE POETRY Most of Sylvia's poems center around suicide and self-hatred. Her autobiographical novel The Bell Jar (1963) portrays the isolation she felt during a mental breakdown. "Daddy," a poem written shortly before she committed suicide at the age of 30, viciously describes the love and hate she felt for her father. Some of Sylvia's poems smypathize with the hardships women face in the modern world. These poems later became popular with members of the Women's Liberation Movement. click to view pic1 click to view pic2 click to view pic3 click to view pic4 ...

    Extractions: "November Graveyard" and "Black Rook in Rainy Weather" Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) was born in Boston and her work reflected both her New England heritage and the landscape of England where she later lived with her husband, the poet Ted Hughes. What Hughes called "her crackling verbal energy" is apparent in her poems' biting precision of word and image. Gestures in her life of defiance and ecstasy, love or despair, are re-imagined in brilliant archetypal patterns. In the year before her suicide, she was writing the poems that secured her famepoems about her children and her failed marriage, about death and her imagination. E-mail story Backflip this story to find it again "[Her poems] have that exquisite, heart-breaking quality about them that has made Sylvia Plath our acknowledged Queen of Sorrows, the spokeswoman for our most private, most helpless nightmares... Her poetry is as deathly as it is impeccable; it enchants us almost as powerfully as it must have enchanted her." -Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Times

50. Salon :: :: Books :: Feature :: The Real Sylvia Plath, By Kate Moses :: Page 1
    Article by Kate Moses which looks at the journals of sylvia plath, exploring the lesserknown side of the poet and theories about what drove her to suicide.  
    http://dir.salon.com/books/feature/2000/05/30/plath1/index.html
    
    Extractions: It's the tally of "my lusts and my little ideas," wrote 17-year-old Sylvia Plath of the journals in which she confessed her judgments, her "test tube infatuations," her story notes, her cake baking, her dreams and her fears from the age of 12 until days before her death by her own hand at the age of 30. Plath's characterization of her journal stands in stunning contrast to the monumentally revealing document she created: more than a thousand pages scattered through various handwritten notebooks, diaries, fragments and typed sheets, the sum of it an extraordinary record of what she called the "forging of a soul," the creation of a writer and a woman whose many veils and guises have succeeded in forestalling anyone from knowing who she really was, despite her lifelong quest to discover the answer for herself. "You walked in, laughing, tears welling confused, mingling in your throat. How can you be so many women to so many people, oh you strange girl?" Plath asked herself in the summer of 1952 when she was about to enter her junior year at Smith College in Northampton, Mass. Now, with the English publication of Plath's unabridged journals this spring, we are closer than ever to knowing the real identity of this disappointed wife and bereaved daughter, this suicidal mother of two, this poet of electrically charged perceptions and amplified imagination, this woman "enigmatical/shifting my clarities," this Lady Lazarus who evolved out of her own inner torment, the record of which now opens fully, or almost, before us.

    Extractions: P oetisa y novelista estadounidense. Empezó a escribir poesía de niña, estudió en la Universidad de Smith y, gracias a una beca Fulbright, en la Cambridge. Su primer libro, El coloso (1960), puso en evidencia la meticulosidad de su oficio y un estilo muy personal. Ariel (1965) está considerado como su mejor libro de poemas que, al igual que su poesía posterior publicada después de su suicidio, refleja un ensimismamiento y una obsesión por la muerte crecientes. Poemas completos, que ganó el Premio Pulitzer en 1982, fue editado por su marido, el poeta británico Ted Hughes, en 1981. La campana de cristal (1963), novela que publicó con el seudónimo de Victoria Lewis, es el relato autobiográfico del colapso nervioso de una joven. Su correspondencia, Cartas a casa , 1950-1963, preparada por su madre y publicada en 1975, ayuda a comprender sus fuentes de inspiración y su desesperación.

However, I've added a link in the Articles section to a site with pictures of Gwyneth Paltrow as Sylvia Plath.

    Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature American Poetry Since 1945 ... Authors Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) Index Sylvia Plath lived an outwardly exemplary life, attending Smith College on scholarship, graduating first in her class, and winning a Fulbright grant to Cambridge University in England. There she met her charismatic husband-to-be, poet Ted Hughes, with whom she had two children and settled in a country house in England. Beneath the fairy-tale success festered unresolved psychological problems evoked in her highly readable novel The Bell Jar (1963). Some of these problems were personal, while others arose from repressive 1950s attitudes toward women. Among these were the beliefs shared by most women themselves that women should not show anger or ambitiously pursue a career, and instead find fulfillment in tending their husbands and children. Successful women like Plath lived a contradiction. Plath's storybook life crumbled when she and Hughes separated and she cared for the young children in a London apartment during a winter of extreme cold. Ill, isolated, and in despair, Plath worked against the clock to produce a series of stunning poems before she committed suicide by gassing herself in her kitchen. These poems were collected in the volume

I am interested in Sylvia Plath because she expresses a feminist point of view in her writing. Plath does not seem to be interested in advancing the feminist cause, but she does show an expression of rage against men. Plath associates death with men in many of her poems. Plath’s poem “Lady Lazarus” describes her eating men like air (Plath, Ariel 9). Plath calls a man “bastard” in her poem “Death and Co.” (Plath

    Extractions: [Note for March 4, 1999: This paper was posted on an older version of my website, and was not re-posted when I ripped it down and redid it. However, I keep getting requests for it, and my referer logs keep showing people getting 404s from my site off search engine queries for materials on Sylvia Plath, so here it is. Do your own homework, kids: use this as a reference but don't rip me off. I'll send Guido after you.] "I think I would like to call myself 'the girl who wanted to be God'. Yet if I were not in this body, where would I beperhaps I am destined to be classified and qualified. But, oh, I cry out against it." Sylvia Plath In 1953, at age 20, Plath wrote in her journal: I must find a strong potential powerful mate who can counter my vibrant dynamic self: sexual and intellectual, and while comradely, I must admire him: respect and admiration must equate with the object of my love (that is where the remnants of paternal, godlike qualities come in). (Journals, 73) Here, the reader finds no hint of misandrist resistance to the idea of a strong attachment to a mate. Indeed, it seems obvious that Plath was searching for an equal to accompany her through all the aspects of a multifaceted life. To her, complete devotion was not only no betrayal of herself as a woman, it would make her whole as a person. The one provision was that this potential mate be the one special one who would not bind her into a woman she did not want to be: she would be a wife, and she would write as well.
