The Letters of Sylvia Plath, Volume 2: 1956–1963
View through CrossRef
This chapter talks about the second volume of Sylvia Plath's letters, which is described like Greek tragedy. It recounts the story of how Ted Hughes walked out of his marriage with Plath after a passionate affair with Assia, the wife of Canadian poet David Wevill. It also covers the feelings expressed in the Beuscher letters that lie behind poems such as ‘Daddy’ and ‘Lady Lazarus’ written by Plath in her final months and have won her global fame. The chapter considers Plath's letters as astonishing in themselves, terrible in their intensity, and as raw as freshly sliced meat. As a real-life depiction of a mind in agony, Plath's letters can be recognized as unmatched in literature.
