Description

Sylvia Plath: A Critical Study by Tim Kendall offers a fresh perspective on one of America's most compelling poets. For too long, study of Sylvia Plath's work has been overshadowed by her life and death. This new analysis seeks to redress the balance, providing a detailed and dispassionate examination of her poetry. By tracing the evolution of recurring themes across her works, including The Colossus, The Bell Jar, Letters Home, and Ariel, Kendall reveals the unique nature of Plath's poetic gift. Through this study, readers can gain insight into Plath's accelerated development as a poet, from formal restraint to groundbreaking techniques, while also understanding how she continually remade herself through experimentation with style, form, and subject matter.
