Summary
In recent years, literary critics have engaged in a variety of new approaches to Sylvia Plath’s work. Readers themselves are increasingly aware of the complex array of backgrounds and frameworks that shape Plath’s writing. Bringing together an exciting combination of established and emerging thinkers from a range of disciplines, Sylvia Plath in Context is an important new landmark in this ongoing project. Across thirty-four chapters, this volume reveals Plath’s complex responses to the writers she reads, her interventions in the literary techniques and forms she encounters, and the wide range of cultural, personal, artistic, political, historical and geographical influences that shaped her work.
