Sylvia Plath's energetic imagination is the focus of this guide. It seeks to place her work in the context of her life and times, without losing sight of the words on the page, the encounter of reader and text. Plath's poetry is usually labelled confessional: does the label do justice to it? Through close discussion of key poems, Robyn Marsack explores Plath's use of autobiography and myth, of women's experience as daughters, wives and mothers; her controversial personalization of 20th-century history; her startling perception of sickness; her dedication to and despair of her art of words.
