About this product
Product Information
PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST - The highly anticipated biography of Sylvia Plath that focuses on her remarkable literary and intellectual achievements, while restoring the woman behind the long-held myths about her life and art. "One of the most beautiful biographies I've ever read." --Glennon Doyle, author of #1 New York Times Bestseller, Untamed With a wealth of never-before-accessed materials, Heather Clark brings to life the brilliant Sylvia Plath, who had precocious poetic ambition and was an accomplished published writer even before she became a star at Smith College. Refusing to read Plath's work as if her every act was a harbinger of her tragic fate, Clark considers the sociopolitical context as she thoroughly explores Plath's world: her early relationships and determination not to become a conventional woman and wife; her troubles with an unenlightened mental health industry; her Cambridge years and thunderclap meeting with Ted Hughes; and much more. Clark's clear-eyed portraits of Hughes, his lover Assia Wevill, and other demonized players in the arena of Plath's suicide promote a deeper understanding of her final days. Along with illuminating readings of the poems themselves, Clark's meticulous, compassionate research brings us closer than ever to the spirited woman and visionary artist who blazed a trail that still lights the way for women poets the world over.

Reviews
"A major biography that redeems Plath from the condescension of easy interpretation . . . [Clark] meticulously explores Plath's omnivorous literary interests and busy social life . . . The author's attention to specifics serves her very well in the closing pages, as she tracks how Plath's depression, anxiety over her literary standing, despair over her failed marriage, and fear of institutionalization speeded her death even while those same forces inspired indelible, harrowing late poems." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Exactly as advertised, PLUS...my much-anticipated purchase was EXCEPTIONALLY WELL-PACKAGED: a robust bubble-wrap sheet encased the book, which was sandwiched between two stout pieces of corrugated cardboard. All of this was enclosed within a thick plastic wrapper and securely taped closed. So, this Seller WENT THE EXTRA MILE to ENSURE THE BEST, SAFEST DELIVERY POSSIBLE. OUTSTANDING! THANK YOU for a GREAT ebay buying experience. I look very forward to another transaction with this WINNING SELLER!
