Ariel: The Restored Edition by Sylvia Plath
Upon the publication of her posthumous volume of poetry Ariel in 1965, Sylvia Plath became a household name. Readers may be surprised to learn that the draft of Ariel left behind by Plath when she died in 1963 is different from the volume of poetry eventually published to worldwide acclaim. This is a facsimile edition of her original draft.
"'It is impossible not to welcome this lovingly produced volume; its facsimile pages add an extra dimension to the vividness and vigour of Plath's unique poetic voice' Erica Wagner 'We are forced by this new Ariel to stop and reacquaint ourselves with the unassailable force that is Plath the poet.' Scotland on Sunday"
Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and studied at Smith College. In 1955 she went to Cambridge University on a Fulbright scholarship, where she met and later married Ted Hughes. She published one collection of poems in her lifetime, The Colossus (1960), and a novel, The Bell Jar (1963); Ariel was published posthumously in 1965. Her Collected Poems, which contains her poetry written from 1956 until her death, was published in 1981 and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry.
