Description
Sylvia Plath's life has been shrouded in myth and misconception. This book seeks to set the record straight, reimagining her final years and challenging the legacy that has been built around her. Through a deep understanding of intimate partner violence and newly available archival materials, Emily Van Duyne radically reinterprets the last years of Plath's life, confronting her suicide and the construction of her mythology. By shedding light on the complex relationships between Plath, her husband Ted Hughes, and his mistress Assia Wevill, Van Duyne seeks to resuscitate Plath as a hardworking and brilliant writer, rather than the tragic figure often portrayed. By reexamining the life and work of Sylvia Plath, this book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of one of the 20th century's most fascinating writers.
