	Two Views on Sylvia Plath's Life and Career
		Plath had learned to find joy in her women-centered world, and the care of her children and friendships with other women were increasingly important.
		Plath's work is valuable for its stylistic accomplishments--its melding of comic and serious elements, its ribald fashioning of near and slant rhymes in a free-form structure, its terse voicing of themes that have too often been treated only with piety.
		Sylvia Plath's early poems--already drenched in typical imagery of glass, moon, blood, hospitals, foetuses, and skulls--were mainly 'exercises' or pastiches of work by poets she admired: Dylan Thomas, W. Yeats, Marianne Moore.

		Sylvia was still confused and angry about her father's death--she sometimes felt that, in a way, he had committed suicide because he could have prevented it.
		Sylvia came into her room one night asking to borrow a dress because, she claimed, she had thrown all of hers off of the roof of the hotel.
		Plath was enthralled by the moors and she continued to write stories, articles, and poems, like "November Graveyard".

		Sylvia Plath has had a tremendous impact on literature, of course, and today she's regarded by some as being on the same level as classic English poets like John Keats.
		Sylvia displayed her talent early -- a precocious straight-A student as a young girl, she wrote her first poem at eight years old, then she won a scholarship to all-girls Smith College in '50, and while there she kept a long, detailed journal and wrote over 400 poems.
		Sylvia Plath's grave in Heptonstall, England, has been disfigured several times by her fans who have chiselled off the name "Hughes" from the stone reading "Sylvia Plath Hughes," this as a way to protest his treatment of her...

	Sylvia Plath
		Following the posthumous publication of her Ariel poems, Sylvia Plath became a feminist cause celebre, with ex-husband poet Ted Hughes vilified as an accomplice to her death.
		In a sense, Sylvia Plath has been restored to life, by the power of her own pen, by the power of her own words.
		I believe that women of Sylvia Plath's era and modern women today are still conflicted about their place in society, because we are limited by being boxed into roles.

	[No title]
		Sylvia Plath was born in Boston Massachusetts on October 27, 1932 to Otto Plath, a young man of German descent, and Aurelia Schoeber, a young woman of Austrian ancestry.
		In the poem “Daddy” Sylvia Plath takes on the idea that she is the Eastern European Jew being persecuted during World War II by a Nazi, who is personified to be her father.
		Plath attempts to describe her suicides as a form of entertainment such as “peanut-crunching crowd” and her living is simply described as “the big strip tease” which can be a form of entertainment for others and not for Plath herself.

		Plath's documentation of the two years the couple spent in the U.S. teaching and writing explicitly highlights the dilemma of the late-1950s woman--still swaddled in expectations of domesticity, yet attempting to forge her own independent professional and personal life.
		Plath understandably skirted over her breakdown and attempted suicide during the summer of 1953, though she was to anatomize the events minutely in her novel The Bell Jar.
		Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) is an icon of the alienated poetic soul confronted with a world of potentially numberless Auschwitzes and Nagasakis, the soul who chooses self-destruction in the face of this existential crisis.

	Sylvia Plath,"Metaphors", Metaphor, and the number 9
		Since Plath may have thought she was pregnant when she composed this poem, the idea of pregnancy(9 letters, 9 months)hovers behind the poem as a metaphor for human creation and becoming.
		Plath is at the evolutionary stage where we now recognize ourselves in all our conceptions of the cosmos and where we begin to exercise our creative will in shaping the universe.
		Plath's intake of the raw material of life experience, sense impressions, Art and thought is assimilated and transformed into the "new being" within.

	Featured Author: Sylvia Plath
		Sylvia Plath's mother had tried to block the American edition of her novel, "The Bell Jar." Despite mixed reviews and its morose subject matter, the book became a bestseller, in part by packaging itself as an intimate memento of its iconic author.
		Although Sylvia Plath's mother Aurelia had possession of the letters from Sylvia that were eventually to make up the book "Correspondence 1950-1963," Ted Hughes controlled her literary estate.
		Sylvia Plath's mother, Aurelia insists the unfeeling mother portrayed in Plath's "The Bell Jar" was not meant as a portrait of her.

	Sylvia Plath
		Sylvia Plath (October 27, 1932-February 11, 1963) was a poet, literary critic, novelist, diarist, correspondent and sometime social activist.
		The expense of this treatment was borne by Unitarian novelist Olive Higgins Prouty, who had already underwritten Sylvia's college education and would remain her counselor, correspondent, and "literary mother" during the remainder of her life.
		Though the pain of her marital problems may have been a factor, Plath's suicide in early 1963 was probably a consequence of her pre-existing depressive illness.

		That the full expression of Plath's genius -- the poems such as "Lady Lazarus" and "Daddy" that she knew would make her name -- coincided with the breakup of her seven-year marriage to Ted Hughes has been made much of by feminist critics, who rightly see Plath's anger as the crucible for this astonishing work.
