Since Sylvia Plath\'s death in 1963, she has become the subject of a constant stream of books, biographies, and articles.
Ranging over several sources, including Plath\'s diaries, journals, letters, stories, and other prose and poetry--including new material and archived material rarely seen by readers--a fresh kaleidoscopic view of the writer emerges..
The entries are suitable for dipping into and can be read in a minute or an hour.
Sylvia Plath Day by Day is for readers of all kinds with a wide variety of interests in the woman and her work.
Volume 1 commences with Plath\'s birth in Boston in 1932, records her response to her elementary and high school years, her entry into Smith College, and her breakdown and suicide attempt, and ends on February 14, 1955, the day she wrote to Ruth Cohen, principal of Newnham College, Cambridge, to accept admission as an affiliated student at Newnham College to read for the English Tripos.
Sylvia Plath Day by Day , a two-Volume series, offers a distillation of this data without the inherent bias of a narrative.
Each new biography has offered insight and sources with which to measure Plath\'s life and influence.
She has been hailed as a groundbreaking poet for her starkly beautiful poems in Ariel and as a brilliant forerunner of the feminist coming-of-age novel in her semiautobiographical The Bell Jar.
