Description
Upon the publication of her posthumous volume of poetry, Ariel, in the mid-1960s, Sylvia Plath became a household name. Readers may be surprised to learn that the draft of Ariel left behind by Sylvia Plath when she died in 1963 is different from the volume of poetry eventually published to worldwide acclaim.
This facsimile edition restores, for the first time, the selection and arrangement of the poems as Sylvia Plath left them at the point of her death. In addition to the facsimile pages of Sylvia Plath's manuscript, this edition also includes in facsimile the complete working drafts of the title poem Ariel in order to offer a sense of Plath's creative process, as well as notes the author made for the BBC about some of the manuscript's poems.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Erica Wagner praises this volume for its loving production and the added depth brought by the facsimile pages, enhancing the vividness and vigour of Plath's voice. Scotland on Sunday notes that this edition forces readers to stop and reacquaint themselves with Plath's unassailable poetic force.
