Excelente

Coleccion Circe Bolsillo, 305 pp. Hay vidas reales cuyo tejido parece formado por hilos exclusivamente literarios. Tal es el caso de la escritora Sylvia Plath, nacida en Boston en 1932. Desde sus anos de estudiante, Sylvia demostro una voluntad incuestionable para lograr la perfeccion en todo aquello que se proponia alcanzar: tal vez este intenso afan de superacion fue la causa de su intento de suicidio cuando, en 1953. no pudo seguir un curso de taquigrafia y fue rechazada para asistir a un curso literario de verano. Supero esta primera gran crisis vital y, al poco tiempo, marcho a la universidad de Cambridge como estudiante becada. Alli conocio al poeta ingles Ted Hughes. La union duro seis anos: Ted abandono a Sylvia Plath y a los dos hijos del matrimonio cuando conocio a una escritora judia menos extremista -en el sentido profundo de la palabra- que su esposa. Sylvia no pudo superar su problematica existencial: la escritora puso fin dramaticamente a su vida en febrero de 1963: transcurrido un mes de la publicacion de su unica novela. Su obra literaria consta de algunos libros de poemas (The Colossus, Ariel, Crossing the Water, Winter Trees) y de una novela, (La campana de cristal). Si hay vidas, como la de Sylvia Plath, que se nutren de la sustancia literaria, es necesario que alguien se ocupe de ellas para que el lector tenga el retrato completo del artista y del personaje. Ese es el trabajo que ha llevado a buen termino Linda W. Wagner-Martin: su biografia de Sylvia Plath cierra, vital y literalmente, el arco descrito por una mujer que vivio por, para y en la Literatura. En mayuscula.

PLATH, Sylvia: ORIGINAL ART Accomplished When Plath Was 8 and 9 Years Old, 1941 and 1942 ; sig.

Three pencil drawings, executed when Plath was eight and nine years old, shortly after the death of her father, Otto, in 1940. It was at this young age that Plath first retreated into the worlds of both poetry and art: her first poem was published in THE BOSTON HERALD in 1941, the same year that a drawing of hers, of a plump lady in a feathered hat, won a dollar prize in another newspaper contest. Plath has claimed that it was her mother's reading Matthew Arnold's "The Forsaken Merman" to her that sparked her poetic imagination, and the first drawing here, "Mer-maid Land," is an underwater scene of a mermaid, fish and castle, with the mermaid shown again, larger, on a fold-over leaf. SIGNED "Sylvia July 20, 1941." In 1941, Plath was flower girl at her Aunt Dorothy's wedding; in 1942 she performed the same role for her Uncle Frank. The second drawing is of a bride, in profile, in wedding dress, and is SIGNED "Sylvia" and dated "1942" by Plath's mother, Aurelia. The final drawing, of a woman preparing to curtsey, is described on the verso by Plath's mother: "Sylvia drew this to illustrate the costume planned for the Minuet Group in the Pageant given May 1942. Sylvia was in the group." Aurelia (presumably) has also written "Keep" on the front. This drawing is also in pencil, but with the costume colored in orange crayon. The first drawing is approximately 5 1/2" x 5"; the second and third each 4" x 6". The first and third show some foxing (the latter with one closed edge tear); the second some even acidification. Very Good and most unusual

Blosser, Silvianne: A Poetics on Edge: The Poetry and Prose of Sylvia Plath. A study of Sylvia Plath's poetic and poetological developments. Bern, Berlin, Bruxelles, Frankfurt/M., New York, Oxford, Wien Peter Lang Vlg. 2001. ISBN: 978-3-906766-31-7
This study takes a close look at the language of Sylvia Plath's poetry and prose in terms of how the poetic language works rather than why she wrote as she did. A detailed analysis of her poems, her short stories and her only novel, The Bell Jar, traces Sylvia Plath's development of a poetics of her own - from monological poems to dialogic prose - based on her own frequent remarks on the writing process in her essays, letters and journals. Sylvia Plath was a writer often torn between traditional and modernist modes of writing and a poetics of the "open hand" as she formulated it. She is presented as a poet at the crossroads to postmodern ways of thought and writing rather than as a woman helplessly caught up in her own creative and biographical problems. The versatility and dynamics of her creativity and her own reflections on these processes can be linked to notions and trends in literary theory over the past few decades.
