With its distinctive poetic forms and themes, Sylvia Plath's poetry
patently epitomizes her personal and artistic struggle as a woman
writer to be part of a largely male-dominated canon. In Ideology in
the Poetry of Sylvia Plath, Ikram Hili examines the difficulties
that Plath encountered while drafting her poems, as she wrestled
with what to reveal to, or conceal from, the reading public-a
literary exertion that is even more visible when studying the
poet's manuscripts of published and unpublished poems. While
examining the influence of ideology on Plath's poetics, Hili traces
different stages of the poet's literary journey, as she moves from
restriction, repression, and containment towards a liberating phase
during which she carves out her own body of writing. Detaching
herself from the rigid, crippling formalism of her earlier years,
Plath confronts her own indecisiveness as a poet, cleans up her
messy drafts, and embarks on an aesthetic healing process. The
literary body that she aims to construct is no longer confined
within the "great" writing tradition that she once perceived as
predominantly male; nor is it perfect. It is a perfected body, the
result of a process into which Plath's captivated readers have also
entered.
