Extractions: Born to middle class parents in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, Sylvia Plath published her first poem when she was eight. Sensitive, intelligent, compelled toward perfection in everything she attempted, she was, on the surface, a model daughter, popular in school, earning straight A's, winning the best prizes. By the time she entered Smith College on a scholarship in 1950 she already had an impressive list of publications, and while at Smith she wrote over four hundred poems. Sylvia's surface perfection was however underlain by grave personal discontinuities, some of which doubtless had their origin in the death of her father (he was a college professor and an expert on bees) when she was eight. During the summer following her junior year at Smith, having returned from a stay in New York City where she had been a student ``guest editor'' at Mademoiselle Magazine, Sylvia nearly succeeded in killing herself by swallowing sleeping pills. She later described this experience in an autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, published in 1963. After a period of recovery involving electroshock and psychotherapy Sylvia resumed her pursuit of academic and literary success, graduating from Smith summa cum laude in 1955 and winning a Fulbright scholarship to study at Cambridge, England.

Add to a Notebook Sylvia Plath Sylvia Plath was born in Boston in 1932. She grew up in a comfortably middle-class style and attended Smith College. She suffered a breakdown at the end of her junior year of college, but recovered well enough to return and excel during her senior year, receiving various prizes and graduating summa cum laude . In 1955, having been awarded a Fulbright scholarship, she began two years at Cambridge University. There she met and married the British poet Ted Hughes and settled in England, bearing two children. Her first book of poems, The Colossus (1960), demonstrated her precocious talent, but was far more conventional than the work that followed. Having studied with Robert Lowell in 1959 and been influenced by the "confessional" style of his collection Life Studies , she embarked on the new work that made her posthumous reputation as a major poet. A terrifying record of her encroaching mental illness, the poems that were collected after her suicide (at age 30) in 1963 in the volumes Ariel Crossing the Water , and Winter Trees are graphically macabre, hallucinatory in their imagery, but full of ironic wit, technical brilliance, and tremendous emotional power.

Extractions: Sylvia Plath (bio by Bill Gilson) Born to middle class parents in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, Sylvia Plath published her first poem when she was eight. Sensitive, intelligent, compelled toward perfection in everything she attempted, she was, on the surface, a model daughter, popular in school, earning straight A's, winning the best prizes. By the time she entered Smith College on a scholarship in 1950 she already had an impressive list of publications, and while at Smith she wrote over four hundred poems. Plath's surface perfection was however underlain by grave personal discontinuities, some of which doubtless had their origin in the death of her father (he was a college professor and an expert on bees) when she was eight. During the summer following her junior year at Smith, having returned from a stay in New York City where she had been a student ``guest editor'' at Mademoiselle Magazine, Plath nearly succeeded in killing herself by swallowing sleeping pills. She later described this experience in an autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, published in 1963. After a period of recovery involving electroshock and psychotherapy Plath resumed her pursuit of academic and literary success, graduating from Smith with honors and winning a Fulbright scholarship to study at Cambridge, England. In 1956 she married the English poet Ted Hughes, and in 1960, when she was 28, her first book, The Colossus, was published in England. The poems in this book-formally precise, well wrought-show clearly the dedication with which Plath had served her apprenticeship; yet they give only glimpses of what was to come in the poems she would begin writing early in 1961. She and Hughes settled for a while in an English country village in Devon, but less than two years after the birth of their first child the marriage broke apart.

I am enrolled in BGSD program and will graduate this year. I created this site for my American Literature course. I am interested in Sylvia Plath because she expresses a feminist point of view in her writing. Plath does not seem to be interested in advancing the feminist cause, but she does show an expression of rage against men. Plath associates death with men in many of her poems. Plaths poem Lady Lazarus describes her eating men like air (Plath, Ariel 9). Plath calls a man bastard in her poem Death and Co. (Plath

Extractions: SHORT BIOGRAPHY Sylvia was born in Boston and graduated from Smith College. She married the British poet Ted Hughes in 1956. Her first collection of poems, The Colossus (1960), received less recognition than three edited by her husband after her death. The Collected Poems , published in 1981, received the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1982. A collection of her letters to her mother, Letters Home , was published in 1976. Johnny panic and the Bible of Dreams (1978), is a collection of her short stories and nonfiction. THE POETRY Most of Sylvia's poems center around suicide and self-hatred. Her autobiographical novel The Bell Jar (1963) portrays the isolation she felt during a mental breakdown. "Daddy," a poem written shortly before she committed suicide at the age of 30, viciously describes the love and hate she felt for her father. Some of Sylvia's poems smypathize with the hardships women face in the modern world. These poems later became popular with members of the Women's Liberation Movement. click to view pic1 click to view pic2 click to view pic3 click to view pic4 ...

A bright young thing hiding terrible depressions, Plath published her first poem at eight and went on to win various awards and scholarships, including a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for the Collected Poems; her semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, has become a classic of American literature. Unfortunately adopted as patron saint of a cult of angsty victimhood, her work overshadowed by her life, the power and precision of her poetry are nonetheless acknowledged.

Extractions: Plath, Sylvia Plath, Sylvia, , American poet, b. Boston. Educated at Smith College and Cambridge, Plath published poems even as a child and won many academic and literary awards. Her first volume of poetry, The Collosus (1960), is at once highly disciplined, well crafted, and intensely personal; these qualities are present in all her work. Ariel (1968), considered her finest book of poetry, was written in the last months of her life and published posthumously, as were Crossing the Water (1971) and Winter Trees (1972). These late poems reveal an objective detachment from life and a growing fascination with death. They are rendered with impeccable and ruthless art, describing the most extreme reaches of Plath's consciousness and passions. Her one novel, The Bell Jar (1971), originally published pseudonymously in England in 1962, is autobiographical, a fictionalized account of a nervous breakdown Plath had suffered when in college. Plath was married to the poet Ted Hughes and was the mother of two children. She committed suicide in London in Feb., 1963. See her collected poems (1981); occasional prose

The Willing Domesticity Of Sylvia Plath: A Rebuttal Of The "Feminist" Label, By
Essay by Michelle KinseyClinton examining sylvia plath as a 'feminist' writer.
http://www.sapphireblue.com/writing/plath.html

Extractions: [Note for March 4, 1999: This paper was posted on an older version of my website, and was not re-posted when I ripped it down and redid it. However, I keep getting requests for it, and my referer logs keep showing people getting 404s from my site off search engine queries for materials on Sylvia Plath, so here it is. Do your own homework, kids: use this as a reference but don't rip me off. I'll send Guido after you.] "I think I would like to call myself 'the girl who wanted to be God'. Yet if I were not in this body, where would I beperhaps I am destined to be classified and qualified. But, oh, I cry out against it." Sylvia Plath In 1953, at age 20, Plath wrote in her journal: I must find a strong potential powerful mate who can counter my vibrant dynamic self: sexual and intellectual, and while comradely, I must admire him: respect and admiration must equate with the object of my love (that is where the remnants of paternal, godlike qualities come in). (Journals, 73) Here, the reader finds no hint of misandrist resistance to the idea of a strong attachment to a mate. Indeed, it seems obvious that Plath was searching for an equal to accompany her through all the aspects of a multifaceted life. To her, complete devotion was not only no betrayal of herself as a woman, it would make her whole as a person. The one provision was that this potential mate be the one special one who would not bind her into a woman she did not want to be: she would be a wife, and she would write as well.

Extractions: A tribute to Sylvia Plath, her poetry and her life. Sylvia Plath is without a doubt my favourite poet. Through her unique style, Plath conveys anger, frustration, confusion, sadness and depression to full effect, throughout all her poetry. Unlike many Sylvia Plath fans I have met though, I do not blame her husband Ted Hughes for her suicide. I hope to write a short article soon, discussing Plath's suicide in relation to her life (especially her marriage to Ted Hughes) and her poetry. Sylvia Plath committed suicide on February 11, 1963. OK, I'll be the first to admit the site has gone to pot a little over the last few months! I haven't updated the poetry or photos as often as I would have liked to have done, and I haven't replied to your emails; but then I have been doing my A-levels. However, I'm sure this last update will keep things ticking over for a little while to come.
