Journals of Sylvia Plath by Sylvia Plath

'The publication of these journals .gives us the chance to hear Plath in her own words, to see her marriage in close up, and to watch the evolution of her dazzling last poems.' Andrew Motion, Financial Times 'Everything that passes before her eyes travels down from brain to pen with shattering clarity - 1950s New England, pre-co-ed Cambridge, pre-mass tourism Benidorm, where she and Hughes honeymooned, the birth of her son Nicholas in Devon in 1962. These and other passages are so graphic that you look up from the page surprised to find yourself back in the here and now . . . The struggle of self with self makes the Journals compelling and unique.' John Carey, Sunday Times

Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and studied at Smith College.

She published one collection of poems in her lifetime, The Colossus (1960), and a novel, The Bell Jar (1963). 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.
