Summary
Elaine Feinstein provides an expert and first-hand account of Plath’s last months in London, which spans her search for a flat in November of 1962 and her final move to the city in December of that year. This is the period during which Plath wrote her final poems, and Feinstein’s biography of Plath’s time in London help us to understand better the context out of which these poems emerged.
