In the \u003cem\u003eLetters\u003c\/em\u003e, we discover the art of Plath's correspondence. Most has never before been published, and it is here presented unabridged, without revision, so that she speaks directly in her own words.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe letters document Plath's extraordinary literary development: the genesis of many poems, short and long fiction, and journalism. Leading Plath scholars Peter K. Steinberg and Karen V. Kukil, editor of \u003cem\u003eThe Journals of Sylvia Plath 1950-1962\u003c\/em\u003e, provide comprehensive footnotes and an extensive index informed by their meticulous research. Alongside a selection of photographs and Plath's own drawings, they masterfully contextualise what the pages disclose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis later correspondence witnesses Plath and Hughes becoming major, influential contemporary writers, as it happened. Experiences recorded include first books and other publications; teaching; committing to writing full-time; travels; making professional acquaintances; settling in England; starting a family; and buying a house. Throughout, Plath's voice is completely, uniquely her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844380578028,"sku":"9780571339211","price":65.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11068223482391.jpg?v=1758839961","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/letters-of-sylvia-plath-volume-ii-by-sylvia-plath-9780571339211","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
