Synopsis "The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath (in English)"

A major literary event--the complete, uncensored journals of Sylvia Plath, published in their entirety for the first time.Sylvia Plath's journals were originally published in 1982 in a heavily abridged version authorized by Plath's husband, Ted Hughes. This new edition is an exact and complete transcription of the diaries Plath kept during the last twelve years of her life. Sixty percent of the book is material that has never before been made public, more fully revealing the intensity of the poet's personal and literary struggles, and providing fresh insight into both her frequent desperation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons. The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath is essential reading for all who have been moved and fascinated by Plath's life and work.

Sylvia Plath (Boston, 27 de octubre de 1932-Londres, 11 de febrero de 1963) fue una escritora y poeta estadounidense. Considerada una de las cultivadoras del género de la poesía confesional, sus obras más conocidas son sus poemarios El coloso y Ariel y su novela semiautobiográfica La campana de cristal, publicada bajo el seudónimo de «Victoria Lucas» cuatro meses antes de su suicidio. Estuvo casada con el poeta Ted Hughes, quien tras su muerte se encargó de la edición de su poesía completa. En 1982 ganó un Premio Pulitzer póstumo por sus Poemas completos.
Nacida en Boston, Massachusetts, Plath estudió en la Smith College de Massachusetts y, tras recibir una Beca Fullbright, en la Newnham College de Cambridge.
