This Dust Jacket reads: "THIRTY YEARS after the smashing success of ZELDA, a national phenomenon that sold over 1.4 million copies and pioneered the study of women's lives, Nancy Milford returns with a stunning second act. SAVAGE BEAUTY is her long-awaited portrait of a passionate, fearless woman who obsessed America even as she tormented herself. If F. Scott Fitzgerald was the hero of the Jazz Age, Edna St. Vincent Millay, as audacious in her love affairs as she was in her art, was its heroine. She embodied, in her reckless fancy, the spirit of the New Woman, and gave America its voice. Milford calls her book "a family romance"-for the love between the Millay sisters and their mother was so deep as to be dangerous. The three sisters competed for success with men, and later with their poetry. Their mother loved them with the controlling fierceness of a tyrant. 'Theirs was a story of triumph over adversity,' Milford writes, 'one of the best women's stories there is in America-hopeful, enduring, centered in family, and fraudulent.' The first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for poetry, Millay was dazzling in the performance of her self. Her voice was an instrument of seduction, and her impact on crowds, and on men, was legendary. Young women styled themselves in her image-fairylike, taunting, free. Yet beneath her studied act, all was not well. Millay's public affairs make for compulsive reading, but what this book reveals for the first time is her extraordinary private life. Written with the riveting intensity of an intimate drama, SAVAGE BEAUTY is the first book to explore the dark side of Millay's life, her self-destructive passion and harrow ing descent into morphine addiction. Nancy Milford was given exclusive access to Millay's papers, and what she found was an unimaginable treasure. Hundreds of letters flew back and forth between the three sisters and their mother-and Millay kept the most intimate diary, one whose ruthless honesty brings to mind the journals of Sylvia Plath. A triumphant accomplishment, a landmark in American literary history, SAVAGE BEAUTY is an iconic portrait of a woman's life." Hard Cover condition: Fine in Fine dj

Wagner-Martin, Linda: Sylvia Plath: A Life. Mit einem Vorwort der Verfasserin. Mit einem Register. London, Chatto and Windus, 1986. ISBN: 0701131268
Sehr guter Zustand. Seiten papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. This is a revealing new biography of the writer, Sylvia Plath, published in the 25th year following her death. The author draws on unpublished journals and letters only recently made available, as well as 200 interviews with people who knew her. The book is illustrated with previously unknown photographs of her childhood, marriage and literary friends. The work provides a crucial reappraisal of her life as a writer and as a woman, shedding new light on her important relationship with her mother, her academic career, her famous summer at "Mademoiselle" magazine, and on her first harrowing suicide attempt at the age of 20. The author traces her growth as a writer and she also tells the story of Sylvia Plath's marriage to Ted Hughes (Poet Laureate) and its painful collapse, her struggle to be wife, mother and writer - and provides new information about her last days. Sylvia Plath's "Collected Poems" won the 1982 Pulitzer Prize and her novel, "The Bell Jar" still sells around 100,000 copies a year. The author has written 25 books, mostly works of criticism on American writers, including two collections of criticism on the work of Sylvia Plath. - Sylvia Plath (* 27. Oktober 1932 in Jamaica Plain bei Boston, Massachusetts; 11. Februar 1963 in Primrose Hill, London) war eine US-amerikanische Schriftstellerin. Als Plaths Hauptwerk gilt ihre Lyrik, insbesondere der nachgelassene Lyrikband Ariel, sowie ihr einziger Roman Die Glasglocke. Daneben schrieb Plath Kurzgeschichten und Kinderbücher. Sylvia Plaths Literatur wird zumeist im Kontext ihrer Lebensgeschichte gewertet. Ihre Gedichte gelten als Confessional Poetry (Bekenntnislyrik), und auch in ihrer Prosa verarbeitete sie autobiografische Erlebnisse wie einen Suizidversuch oder die Beziehung zu ihrem Ehemann Ted Hughes. Erste Arbeiten veröffentlichte Plath bereits zu Lebzeiten, der literarische Erfolg setzte aber erst postum nach ihrem Suizid mit der Veröffentlichung nachgelassener Gedichte sowie der US-Publikation ihres Romans in den späten 60er und frühen 70er Jahren ein. Neben ihrem Werk wurde auch Plaths Leben und ihr früher Tod zum Gegenstand des öffentlichen Interesses. Plath wurde zu einer Symbolfigur der Frauenbewegung stilisiert und ihre Lebensgeschichte als Spiegelbild der Rolle der Frau in der Gesellschaft verstanden. ...
