The other Sylvia Plath
by Brain, Tracy
In this new study, Tracy Brain moves away from the endlessly retold story of Sylvia Plath's life to argue that there is another Sylvia Plath: a writer who was much more interested in a world beyond her own skin than critics have allowed. Teachers, students and general readers should appreciate these new close readings of poems and stories that have seldom been talked about, or have been discussed mainly in biographical terms.
