Beschreibung

Translator Sarah Ruden has long had a passion for Sylvia Plath's poetry. In this reconsideration of Plath's genius, Ruden argues that Plath is more than a consummate mythmaker; the poet herself takes on the role of the classical hero: striving, suffering, descending to an underworld that threatens meaninglessness and despair, and returning to speak the previously unspoken. For the first time, a writer and a woman becomes that hero. For Ruden, this achievement, like the deep learning and driving ambition that fueled it, has been overshadowed by the sensational and tragic details of Plath's life, especially her ill-starred marriage to British poet Ted Hughes and her suicide at the age of thirty. Ruden offers a much-needed corrective through close readings of 6 poems.
