Review: Infidels by Andrew Wheatcroft Paperback of the week Stephanie Merritt Sunday April 15, 2001 The Observer The Journals of Sylvia Plath 1950-1962 Edited by Karen V. Kukil Buy it at a discount at BOL This unabridged edition of Plath's journals includes the two volumes written between 1957 and 1959 which had remained sealed and were released by Ted Hughes shortly before his death in 1998. For the first time, then, we have a complete collection of Plath's diaries from the age of 17, through her college years and her stay in Cambridge, her marriage to Ted Hughes and the two years she spent teaching and writing in New England. Sadly, the two volumes any Plath scholar and enthusiast would most desire to read, those covering the last three years of her life, have disappeared for good. One was destroyed by Hughes after his wife's suicide and the other is 'missing'.

Educated at Smith College and Cambridge, Plath published poems even as a child and won many academic and literary awards. Her first volume of poetry, The Colossus (1960), is at once highly disciplined, well crafted, and intensely personal; these qualities are present in all her work. Ariel (1968), considered her finest book of poetry, was written in the last months of her life and published posthumously, as were Crossing the Water (1971) and Winter Trees (1972). These late poems reveal an objective detachment from life and a growing fascination with death. They are rendered with impeccable and ruthless art, describing the most extreme reaches of Plath's consciousness and passions. Her one novel, The Bell Jar (1971), originally published in England under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas in 1962, is autobiographical, a fictionalized account of a nervous breakdown Plath had suffered when in college. Plath was married to the poet Ted

Marianne Moore Sylvia Plath Ezra Pound Wallace Stevens Walt Whitman William Carlos Williams Sylvia Plath's status as a major American poet has been obscured by her reputation as a martyr, a victimized woman whose tragic life finally ended in suicide. Nevertheless, there are many who insist the poems in her posthumously published volume, Ariel , represent the most dazzling and productive short period of writing since Keats. In this verse, it is argued, Plath fully realizes the Keatsian sense of the sweetness of deatha longing to be swallowed up by something greater than oneself, to become part of the eternal.

Search How black magic killed Sylvia Plath Ted Hughes' dabbling in the occult enabled his wife to write some of her greatest works. But, says Al Alvarez, ex-poetry editor of the Observer and a friend of the doomed couple, inspiration came at a terrible cost Guardian Wednesday September 15, 1999 Sylvia Plath was a Fulbright scholar at Cambridge when she first met Ted Hughes, in 1956. For him, she was "beautiful, beautiful America", the land of impossible plenty, and he never quite lost his sense of her foreignness and freedom, as though she had been cast in some more generous mould that made him feel shabby. When they married he was "a post-war, utility son-in-law" and she was "transfigured./ So slender and new and naked./ A nodding spray of wet violet." In fact she was a girl with a load of troubles on her back, as everyone now knows: a suicide attempt that had almost succeeded, a nightmare series of electro-convulsive shock treatments and, behind all that, an adored Prussian father who scared her stiff and died when she was eight. Hughes calls her father "The Minotaur" and a large number of the poems in his book Birthday Letters (1998) chart Plath's gradual, fatal descent into his lair. It was Hughes who showed her how to get there and he did it in the name of poetry. The weird mishmash of pagan superstition and Celtic myth that got him to where he wanted to be worked fine for him and even made sense, given his unreconstructed Cold Comfort Farm view of the world, but for Sylvia it was a foreign country in every sense. Ted's background was rural and relatively poor. Sylvia's background was academic, middle-class.

70. Manuscript 1:i, Autumn 1995 Essay by Charlotte Crofts. Discusses plath's appropriation and use of Holocaust imagery in her poetry. http://www.art.man.ac.uk/english/manuscript/plath.htm

vol. 1, no. 1, Autumn 1995 "The Peanut Crunching Crowd" in the work of Sylvia Plath: Holocaust as Spectacle? Charlotte Crofts It is impossible in a paper of this length to do justice to the complex historical event that has become generically known as the 'Holocaust'. Current critical debate surrounding the Holocaust focuses on "...the frustrated efforts of language to enclose irreducibly intractable material" The Holocaust is shrouded in this vocabulary of negation: 'inexorable', 'ineffable', 'unutterable'; testifying to the very impossibility of speaking about such an atrocity: "Those who are sensitive to language know that the Holocaust stunned the values that structure language and make it possible." These arguments are held to be particularly resonant in terms of the literary or artistic representation of the Holocaust: "No poetry after Auschwitz" says Theodor Adorno. The very act of representing the Holocaust is seen as an act of forgetting rather than remembering: It cannot be represented without being missed, being forgotten anew, since it defies images and words. Representing "Auschwitz" in images and words is a way of making us forget this. I am not thinking here only of bad movies and widely distributed TV series...

Search Who is Sylvia? Buy The Journals of Sylvia Plath at BOL Sylvia Plath page at Books Unlimited Katharine Viner Guardian Saturday March 18, 2000 First of all, there are the facts. Sylvia Plath, the American poet, committed suicide in 1963 at the age of 30, gassing herself in her London flat after leaving out bread and milk for her two children, a daughter of nearly three and a son of 13 months, who were sleeping in an upstairs bedroom. Her husband, Ted Hughes, who subsequently became poet laureate, had recently left her. The woman with whom he was having an affair, Assia Wevill, also killed herself six years later. Plath's father had died when she was eight; she suffered depression all her life, and attempted suicide, almost succeeding, at 20. There are her poems, some of the most brilliant of the 20th century, the finest of which - Daddy, Lady Lazarus, Edge - she wrote when in the most pain, in the last few months of her life: confessional, brutal, not-nice assessments of the viciousness of the world, her relationships with her father, mother and husband, and her belief that "Dying is an art . . . I do it exceptionally well."

Search 'I realised Sylvia knew about Assia's pregnancy - it might have offered a further explanation of her suicide' In a heart-breaking new twist in the story of the lives and deaths of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Sigmund recalls a moment of terrible realisation Guardian Unlimited Friday April 23, 1999 In 1963, the poet Sylvia Plath, distraught at the break-up of her marriage to Ted Hughes, committed suicide. Six years later, Hughes faced more tragedy when his mistress Assia Wevill - who had lured him away from Plath - killed herself and their four-year-old daughter Shura. Elizabeth Sigmund, a close friend of Sylvia Plath, prompted by the Guardian's account of Wevill's death (Saturday Review, 10/4/99) recalls the aftermath of Plath's suicide and the terrible events surrounding the death of Assia and Shura. In March 1963, I went with my young daughter, Meg, to visit Sylvia Plath's small children in the flat in Fitzroy Road, Primrose Hill, where their mother had killed herself weeks earlier. I had been told that Ted Hughes's aunt, Hilda, was looking after the children, four-year-old Frieda and one-year-old Nicholas. Before gassing herself, Sylvia had left food and drink for her children and made sure they were safe in their bedroom.

Or picking up the bright pieces Of Christ in the faces of rodents, The tame flower-nibblers, the ones Whose hopes are so low they are comfortable- The humpback in his small, washed cottage Under the spokes of the clematis.

80. Plath, Sylvia plath, sylvia. (19321963), poet and novelist Born in Boston, Massachusetts, on October 27, 1932, sylvia plath published her first poem at age eight. http://www.britannica.com/women/articles/Plath_Sylvia.html

Plath, Sylvia (1932-1963), poet and novelist Born in Boston, Massachusetts, on October 27, 1932, Sylvia Plath published her first poem at age eight. She entered and won many literary contests and while still in high school sold her first poem, to Seventeen magazine. She entered Smith College on a scholarship in 1951 and was a co-winner of the Mademoiselle magazine fiction contest in 1952. Despite her remarkable artistic, academic, and social success at Smith, Plath suffered from severe depression and underwent a period of psychiatric hospitalization. She graduated from Smith with highest honors in 1955 and went on to Newnham College, Cambridge, on a Fulbright fellowship. In 1956 she married the English poet Ted Hughes. For the following two years she was an instructor in English at Smith College. In 1960, shortly after Plath and her husband returned to England, her first collection of poems appeared as The Colossus . Her second book, a strongly autobiographical novel titled The Bell Jar was published in 1963 under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas." The book describes the mental breakdown, attempted suicide, and eventual recovery of a young college girl.
