Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) was one of the writers who defined the course
of twentieth-century poetry. In the Letters, we discover the art of
Plath's correspondence. Most has never before been published, and it is
here presented unabridged, without revision, so that she speaks
directly in her own words.
The letters document Plath's extraordinary literary development: the
genesis of many poems, short and long fiction, and journalism. Leading
Plath scholars Peter K. Steinberg and Karen V. Kukil, editor of The
Journals of Sylvia Plath 1950-1962, provide comprehensive footnotes and
an extensive index informed by their meticulous research. Alongside a
selection of photographs and Plath's own drawings, they masterfully
contextualise what the pages disclose.
This later correspondence witnesses Plath and Hughes becoming major,
influential contemporary writers, as it happened. Experiences recorded
include first books and other publications; teaching; committing to
writing full-time; travels; making professional acquaintances; settling
in England; starting a family; and buying a house. Throughout, Plath's
voice is completely, uniquely her own.
