Letters of Sylvia Plath 1956 - 1963

This later correspondence witnesses Plath and her husband Ted Hughes becoming major influential contemporary writers, as it happened. Experiences recorded include first books and other publications; teaching; committing to writing full-time and making professional acquaintances; travels; settling in England, building a family and buying a house; and, through a series of letters to her psychiatrist, a previously unknown insight into the break-up of the marriage. Throughout, Plath's voice is copletely, uniquely her own.
