Summary: Fascinating, In-Depth Sequence
Comment: This a truly fascinating account of Sylvia Plath's life, as a person, as a poet, as a literary persona, and as a wife and a mother. It is also an in-depth analysis of just WHO Sylvia Plath was ... who gets to define Sylvia for us? Does Sylvia herself do it? Do Sylvia's great poems do it? Does Sylvia's mother do it? Does Ted Hughes do it? Do Sylvia's friends and acquaintances do it? Do Sylvia's critics do it?

Who was Sylvia Plath? That is the real question this book attempts to ask and answer. Its answer is only partially successful, and it admits that. There are some things we will simply never know about Sylvia.

Fortunately, we have her great poems to enrich our lives, and we have great books like this one to ponder her life, her work, and the question of just who this poetic genius really was.

I highly recommend this book to everybody.

Summary: Harrowing
Comment: This is a fascinating account of the controversal life and death of one of America and England's most wondered-about poets. Gives many new details and fresh insights. Highly recommended!
