[SR: 14331354], Hardcover, [EAN: 9780582327290], Addison-Wesley Longman Ltd, Addison-Wesley Longman Ltd, Book, [PU: Addison-Wesley Longman Ltd], Addison-Wesley Longman Ltd, In this exciting 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. Tracy Brain provides new close readings of stories and poems that have seldom been talked about, or have been dicussed in mainly biographical terms. She provides a fascinating discussion of: environmentalism in Plath's work; Plath's treament of American and English culture; and the relationship between Plath's work and the work of Charlotte Bronte and Virginia Woolf. Plath's unpublished letters are examined, as well as hand-written drafts of poems, typescripts of The Bell Jar and annotated copies of the books that most influenced her. The book also explores the ways in which Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath drafted their poems together and wrote poems in answer to each other. It is also the first volume to look at Plath's home-made art scrapbooks and to analyse the significance of the cover designs and marketing of Plath's work. Providing a fresh new insight into the life and work of Sylvia Plath, The Other Sylvia Plath is essential reading for students of Twentieth Century Literature, American Literature and Contemporary Poetry, as well as being of interest to those who have a general interest in Plath., 10248, Poetry, 271623011, Ancient, Classical & Medieval, 10250, Anthologies, 10096, British & Irish, 10271, Japanese & Haiku, 10277, Love Poems, 10159384011, Regional & Cultural, 10159396011, Themes & Styles, 9966, United States, 10159402011, Women Authors, 17, Literature & Fiction, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 468236, Literature, 491406, American Literature, 491394, Creative Writing & Composition, 491408, English Literature, 491404, Literary Theory, 684272011, World Literature, 468206, Humanities, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<
