Description
A new generation of writers and scholars celebrate the work and legacy of Sylvia Plath in this powerful anthology. Published to mark the 90th anniversary of her birth, After Sylvia brings together a diverse range of poems and essays that explore key themes from Plath's life and work.
Co-edited by Ian Humphreys and Sarah Corbett, the book is structured around five chapters, each examining a different aspect of Plath's writing: nature, rebirth, womanhood, mothers & fathers, and magic. The contributors include leading poets and scholars from the UK and beyond, offering fresh perspectives on Plath's work and its enduring influence.
This anthology sets out to challenge the myth of Sylvia Plath as a tortured genius, instead revealing the complexity and power of her writing, legacy, and reputation as one of the most important writers of the 20th century. A vital contribution to literary studies, After Sylvia is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in Plath's work and its ongoing relevance today.
