Alvarez in the Observer wrote: "If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hardminded --- They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism , great generosity --- the book is a major literary event." This selection made by Ted Hughes from all her work shows that Sylvia Plath is clearly a major poet of the twentieth century, a rare example of the egotistical sublime.' (Quote taken from the back cover) ***First impression of the true first edition of this selection of Sylvia Plath's poems, chosen by Ted Hughes.
