She published only two books during her lifetime: a volume of poems, Colossus (1960) , and a semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar (1963) . She died by her own hand. Her posthumous collection of poems Ariel (1965) , which has many fine lyrics describing her personal problems, has been much admired. Following her sad end, Plath became the subject of a rather creepy elevation to cult status.

Enter e-mail address: Search GradeSaver dictionary thesaurus Hosted by pair Networks Biography of Sylvia Plath Sylvia Plath was born in Boston, Massachusetts on October 27, 1932, and spent her early childhood years in Winthrop, a seaside town in the Boston area. Her mother parents were Austrian émigrés, while her father, an immigrant from Poland, was a professor of biology at Boston University and an internationally known expert on bees. However, her father died in November 1940 after a protracted illness and her family moved to the more conservative suburb of Wellesley. Plath was essentially raised by her grandmother while her mother taught students at the medical-secretarial training program at Boston University. At an early age, Sylvia began to write poems and to draw in pen and ink. She published her first poem at age eight, and by the time she was seventeen she was an experienced writer. Her first published work came in 1950, a short story in the magazine Seventeen entitled "And Summer Will Not Come Again," while the Christian Science Monitor published a poem called "Bitter Strawberries" that same year. That year Plath entered Smith College on a scholarship endowed by Olive Higgins Prouty, the novelist and author of Stella Dallas. The next year she won Mademoiselle magazine's fiction contest with a short story "Sunday at the Mintons" and was awarded two Smith poetry prizes and elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1953, Esther returned home to her Boston suburb after working at a fashion magazine internship, where she made her first suicide attempt and was hospitalized for psychotherapy; these events, among other biographical details, are paralleled in The Bell Jar.

Search How black magic killed Sylvia Plath Ted Hughes' dabbling in the occult enabled his wife to write some of her greatest works. But, says Al Alvarez, ex-poetry editor of the Observer and a friend of the doomed couple, inspiration came at a terrible cost Guardian Wednesday September 15, 1999 Sylvia Plath was a Fulbright scholar at Cambridge when she first met Ted Hughes, in 1956. For him, she was "beautiful, beautiful America", the land of impossible plenty, and he never quite lost his sense of her foreignness and freedom, as though she had been cast in some more generous mould that made him feel shabby. When they married he was "a post-war, utility son-in-law" and she was "transfigured./ So slender and new and naked./ A nodding spray of wet violet." In fact she was a girl with a load of troubles on her back, as everyone now knows: a suicide attempt that had almost succeeded, a nightmare series of electro-convulsive shock treatments and, behind all that, an adored Prussian father who scared her stiff and died when she was eight. Hughes calls her father "The Minotaur" and a large number of the poems in his book Birthday Letters (1998) chart Plath's gradual, fatal descent into his lair. It was Hughes who showed her how to get there and he did it in the name of poetry. The weird mishmash of pagan superstition and Celtic myth that got him to where he wanted to be worked fine for him and even made sense, given his unreconstructed Cold Comfort Farm view of the world, but for Sylvia it was a foreign country in every sense. Ted's background was rural and relatively poor. Sylvia's background was academic, middle-class.

Authors Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren American Poetry Since 1945: Authors: Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) Index Sylvia Plath lived an outwardly exemplary life, attending Smith College on scholarship, graduating first in her class, and winning a Fulbright grant to Cambridge University in England. There she met her charismatic husband-to-be, poet Ted Hughes, with whom she had two children and settled in a country house in England. Beneath the fairy-tale success festered unresolved psychological problems evoked in her highly readable novel The Bell Jar (1963). Some of these problems were personal, while others arose from repressive 1950s attitudes toward women. Among these were the beliefs shared by most women themselves that women should not show anger or ambitiously pursue a career, and instead find fulfillment in tending their husbands and children. Successful women like Plath lived a contradiction. Plath's storybook life crumbled when she and Hughes separated and she cared for the young children in a London apartment during a winter of extreme cold. Ill, isolated, and in despair, Plath worked against the clock to produce a series of stunning poems before she committed suicide by gassing herself in her kitchen. These poems were collected in the volume

For the first time, then, we have a complete collection of Plath's diaries from the age of 17, through her college years and her stay in Cambridge, her marriage to Ted Hughes and the two years she spent teaching and writing in New England. Sadly, the two volumes any Plath scholar and enthusiast would most desire to read, those covering the last three years of her life, have disappeared for good. One was destroyed by Hughes after his wife's suicide and the other is 'missing'.

Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) Navigation Biography of Sylvia Plath Poems by Sylvia Plath Biography of Sylvia Plath Sylvia started her life in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts on October 27, 1932. During her early childhood, Sylvia's father Otto suffered from a lengthy illness. Otto, certain he had cancer, did not seek treatment initially. When he finally did see a doctor, a case of diabetes was diagnosed but by that time his illness was advanced. His end was fraught with suffering which included the amputation of a leg. Reference to the leg is made in "Daddy" Otto died just days past Sylvia's 8th birthday. In October 1955, Sylvia attended Newnham College at Cambridge University on a Fulbright scholarship. After a series of go nowhere relationships and numerous blind dates, Sylvia met Ted Hughes at a St. Botolph's party on February 25, 1956. They were married on a rainy day in London on June 16th of the same year and honeymooned in Benidorm, Spain. Ted Hughes describes the details of their wedding beautifully in his poem "A Pink Wool Knitted Dress" in Birthday Letters. In December 1959 Sylvia and Ted returned to England. Sylvia was pregnant and due to give birth in the spring of 1960. On April 1st, Frieda Rebecca was born. During her pregnancy, on February 10th, Sylvia signed a contract with William Heinemann Ltd. to publish The Colossus, which was to come out in October 1960. Outwardly Sylvia showed amazing energy. She scoured and scrubbed their London flat, wanting a pretty home for herself, her husband and their yet to be born baby. Inwardly she felt exhausted and barely able to carry on, but unwilling to let the world know and her circumstances pressed in on her. She wanted everything, and the writing was her outlet and her curse. It was both her salvation and her undoing.

Sylvia Plath ylvia Plath demonstrated a talent for words when she began speaking at a much earlier age than most children and was writing complete poems by the age of five. Her parents, Otto Plath and Aurelia Schober had met when Otto was the professor for one of Aurelia's courses at Boston University. Aurelia had graduated second in her high school class, was valedictorian of her Boston University undergraduate class, and was a teacher of English and German studying for her master's degree. Otto, whose ancestral German name had been "Platt", was a professor of German and Biology (his specialty was bees) who was married, but separated thirteen years, when he met Aurelia. Sylvia was born on October 27, 1932 in Boston after her parents had married on January 4 of that year. Her younger brother Warren was born a few years later in April of 1935. During the latter half of the 1930's Otto became increasingly ill and was convinced of his self-diagnosis of lung cancer. He refused to seek medical care due to the lack of a cure or effective treatment at that time. In 1940 after suffering ill health for years, Otto was forced to see a doctor for an infection in his foot. The doctor diagnosed the illness Otto had been suffering from as not cancer, but diabetesand now so advanced that it threatened his life. Otto's leg had to be amputated in October after he developed gangrene, and he spent the rest of his days in the hospital declining rapidly. Otto Plath died on the night of November 5, 1940, and when the eight-year-old Sylvia was informed of her father's death, she proclaimed "I'll never speak to God again."

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

56. Manuscript 1:i, Autumn 1995 Essay by Charlotte Crofts. Discusses plath's appropriation and use of Holocaust imagery in her poetry. http://www.art.man.ac.uk/ENGLISH/MS/PLATH.HTM

vol. 1, no. 1, Autumn 1995 "The Peanut Crunching Crowd" in the work of Sylvia Plath: Holocaust as Spectacle? Charlotte Crofts It is impossible in a paper of this length to do justice to the complex historical event that has become generically known as the 'Holocaust'. Current critical debate surrounding the Holocaust focuses on "...the frustrated efforts of language to enclose irreducibly intractable material" The Holocaust is shrouded in this vocabulary of negation: 'inexorable', 'ineffable', 'unutterable'; testifying to the very impossibility of speaking about such an atrocity: "Those who are sensitive to language know that the Holocaust stunned the values that structure language and make it possible." These arguments are held to be particularly resonant in terms of the literary or artistic representation of the Holocaust: "No poetry after Auschwitz" says Theodor Adorno. The very act of representing the Holocaust is seen as an act of forgetting rather than remembering: It cannot be represented without being missed, being forgotten anew, since it defies images and words. Representing "Auschwitz" in images and words is a way of making us forget this. I am not thinking here only of bad movies and widely distributed TV series...
