The reader will feel the tension in the poetry and the life.'Choice    '[Examines] Plath's twin goals of becoming a famous poet and a perfect mother. . . . This book's main points are clearly and forcefully argued: that both poems and babies require 'struggle, pain, endless labor, and . . . fears of monstrous offspring' and that, in the end, Plath ran out of the resources necessary to produce both. Often maligned as a self-indulgent confessional poet, Plath is here retrieved as a passionate theorist.'--Library Journal    Susan Van Dyne's reading of twenty-five of Sylvia Plath's Ariel poems considers three contexts: Plath's journal entries from 1957 to 1959 (especially as they reveal her conflicts over what it meant to be a middle-class wife and mother and an aspiring writer in 1950s America); the interpretive strategies of feminist theory; and Plath's multiple revisions of the poems.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50251721113873,"sku":"CIN0807821020G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807821020.jpg?v=1764162427","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-de\/products\/revising-life-buch-susan-r-van-dyne-9780807821022","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
