Description

This outstanding biography presents the facts of Plath's life as they are known in the 21st century. The research for this biography utilises the latest scholarship, including new information released in the unabridged journals published in 2000, and the newly accessible Ted Hughes archives. In addition to this primary research, conducted in part at Smith College, where Plath was a student, Kirk also provides new insights and perspectives from original interview material with a Plath contemporary who personally knew her. Whether read for a school assignment or for personal interest, this highly readable biography offers an accessible alternative to the density of Plath scholarship. Readers who wish to pursue the topic further will find an extensive bibliography of biographical and critical sources, a full list of Plath's writings, an appendix of her own literary holdings, and another appendix of her family tree.
