Sylvia Plath is one of the most influential and iconic American writers of the twentieth century, popular with academic and general audiences alike. Plath, who died at age 30, left behind a body of work that changed the direction of modern poetry, and buttressed second-wave feminism. Her poetry and fiction have been especially important to generations of women readers who have found a powerful reflection of their own emotions and experiences in Plath s art. In this incisive introduction, leading Plath scholar Heather Clark explores the intersections between Plath s life and work while discussing key themes in Plath s poetry collections The Colossus and Ariel, her novel The Bell Jar, and short stories ⠜Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams,⠝ ⠜The Wishing Box,⠝ and ⠜Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom.⠝ Clark summarizes the ways in which Plath has been pathologized, and reframes her work within the broader context of poetic confessionalism, biography, feminism, politics, and mental illness.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.

The complete edition of Sylvia Plath s prose including much unpublished and previously uncollected material, edited by Peter K. Steinberg.The Collected Prose stands alongside the Journals (2000) and the two volume Letters (2017 and 2018) to support a more complete understanding of Sylvia Plathâ ™s ambition and achievement as a writer. Expanding on the selection published as Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams (1977), this volume draws together all of Sylvia Plathâ ™s shorter prose, much of which is previously uncollected and unpublished. The volume embraces her experiments with the short story and pieces of non-fiction from the 1940s through to her more polished compositions of the fifties and early sixties, including fragments of fiction as well as her journalism and book reviews. Themes and associations become apparent as the volume offers new, intertextual ways of reading across Plathâ ™s oeuvre, colouring and shading our understanding and appreciation of her extraordinary talent.â ˜To see so much of [Plathâ ™s] surviving fiction and journalism, so many of her essays and reviews, finally published under one cover is to be surprised all over again by the breadth of her vision, ambition and talent . . .

Sylvia Plathová (1932 - 1963), americká prozaička a básnířka, je známa českým čtenářům díky románu Pod skleněným zvonem (Argo, 1998) a sbírce Noční tance (Argo, 2002). Nyní Argo přichází se souborem tří kratších dětských příběhů, které potěší nejen děti, ale uchvátí i dospělé. Obdivovatele Plathové jistě překvapí nečekaná hravost a rozmarná potrhlost textů. Prozaický příběh Kuchyň paní Třešinkové napsala Plathová v roce 1958 pro dětský časopis, publikován byl ale poprvé až v roce 2001, tedy 38 let po autorčině dobrovolné smrti. Vypráví se v něm o kuchyňských přístrojích, jež jsou přesvědčeny, že dokážou lépe plnit úkoly svěřené jejich kolegům v kuchyni, a způsobí tím naprostý chaos. Ve veršované Knížce o postelích, poprvé vydané v roce 1976, sestavila Plathová úžasnou kolekci všemožných postelí s překvapivými, báječnými schopnostmi - dovedou kupříkladu cestovat pod vodou, plachtit vzduchem, spát pod sněhem, poskakovat či malovat. Třetí příběh o Tomášovi a jeho vytouženém hořčicově žlutém obleku pro všechny příležitosti má název Oblek, kterému nic nevadilo

Druhá básnická sbírka Sylvie Plathové nazvaná Ariel, vydaná v roce 1965, tedy dva roky po autorčině smrti, patří k nejslavnějším angloamerickým básnickým knihám dvacátého století. K jejímu kultovnímu statusu samozřejmě nemalou měrou přispěl příběh obestírající její vydání: mladá, nadějná, půvabná básnířka, zmítaná od dětství úzkostmi a depresí, si po rozpadu svého manželství vzala život; texty z její pozůstalosti pak vydal její manžel a otec jejích dvou dětí, básník Ted Hughes - a ukázalo se, že Ariel je autorčino opus magnum… Výsadní postavení Sylvie Plathové v rámci moderní angloamerické literatury ovšem není způsobeno jen oním tragickým příběhem, nýbrž především nespornou silou její poezie: Plathová je básnířka nesmírně sensitivní, básnířka přetavující veškeré podněty zvenčí v zcela svébytný, bolestný výraz, který je přitom v básních reflektován, pozorován jaksi z odstupu, s drsnou a všeprostupující ironií. K věhlasu autorčiny poezie v českém kontextu pak bezesporu přispěly překlady Jana Zábrany, pro něhož Plathová představovala velké, uhrančivé téma. Překladu sbírky Ariel se věnoval bezmála dvacet let - a nad hotovým dílem si poznamenal: Žádná ženská mě v životě neutahala tak jako Sylvia Plathová (…) Do těch básní se nelze dostat paklíčem, spíš to chce rozrazit skořápku jako ořech - a pak začít pracovat se střepy (…) Budu rád, jestli tenhle překlad přežiju. Poněvadž je to spíš zápas, spíš rvačka, při které jeden škrtí druhého - spíš tohle než překlad.

The Journals of Sylvia Plath offers an intimate portrait of the author of the extraordinary poems for which Plath is so widely loved, but it is also characterized by a prose of vigorous immediacy which places it alongside The Bell Jar as a work of literature. These exact and complete transcriptions of the journals kept by Plath for the last twelve years of her life - covering her marriage to Ted Hughes and her struggle with depression - are a key source for the poems which make up her collections Ariel and The Colossus. Everything that passes before her eyes travels down from brain to pen with shattering clarity - 1950s New England, pre-co-ed Cambridge, pre-mass tourism Benidorm, where she and Hughes honeymooned, the birth of her son Nicholas in Devon in 1962. These and other passages are so graphic that you look up from the page surprised to find yourself back in the here and now . . . The struggle of self with self makes the Journals compelling and unique. John Carey, Sunday Times

The electrifying diaries that are essential reading for anyone moved and fascinated by the life and work of one of America s most acclaimed poets. Sylvia Plath began keeping a diary as a young child. By the time she was at Smith College, when this book begins, she had settled into a nearly daily routine with her journal, which was also a sourcebook for her writing. Plath once called her journal her “Sargasso,” her repository of imagination, “a litany of dreams, directives, and imperatives,” and in fact these pages contain the germs of most of her work. Plath’s ambitions as a writer were urgent and ultimately all-consuming, requiring of her a heat, a fantastic chaos, even a violence that burned straight through her. The intensity of this struggle is rendered in her journal with an unsparing clarity, revealing both the frequent desperation of her situation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons.

Originally published in 1960, The Colossus was the only volume of Sylvia Plath s poetry published before her death in 1963. Showing a scholarly dedication to the craft, the poems in this collection are brimming with originality and the startling imagery that would later confirm her status as one of the most important poets of the twentieth century. On every page, a poet is serving notice that she has earned her credentials and knows her trade. Seamus Heaney She steers clear of feminine charm, deliciousness, gentility, supersensitivity and the act of being a poetess. She simply writes good poetry. And she does so with a seriousness that demands only that she be judged equally seriously . . . There is an admirable no-nonsense air about this; the language is bare but vivid and precise, with a concentration that implies a good deal of disturbance with proportionately little fuss. A. Alvarez in the Observer

Jediný román kultovní americké básnířky Sylvie Plathové Pod skleněným zvonem vznikl v roce 1962 – údajně hektickým tempem – a vyšel pod pseudonymem Victoria Lucas v lednu 1963, pouhý měsíc před dobrovolnou smrtí autorky. Kniha se dnes počítá k americké klasice a bývá stavěna především do sousedství Salingerovy přelomové prózy „Kdo chytá v žitě“. Dospívající vypravěčka Esther vstupuje do „velkého světa“, který jí ale zůstává cizí a přiměje ji až k rozhodnutí odejít ze života, realizovaném v sérii nezdařilých pokusů. Jedinečnost románu tkví v tom, jak proti sobě – či spíše vedle sebe – staví život a smrt, konformitu a sebedestruktivitu, „zdravý rozum“ a údajnou choromyslnost. Knihu vydáváme ve vynikajícím překladu Tomáše Hrácha, pro nějž byla Sylvia Plathová doslova osudovou autorkou.

This collection sheds light on these key years in her life, capturing her exquisite observations of the world around her. It includes Plath’s drawings from England, France, Spain, and New England, featuring such subjects as Parisian rooftops, trees, and churches, as well as a portrait Ted Hughes.

Snaží se v nich o maximálně upřímný pohled na sebe samu. Jejich stránky svědčí o střídání složitých období sebeničení a regenerace. Deníky připravil k vydání autorčin manžel, anglický básník Ted Hughes, s nímž měla Plathová velmi komplikovaný vztah. Ovlivnil také jejich finální podobu.Hlas, který k nám z těchto stránek promlouvá, je v těch nejlepších pasážích stejně opravdový a uhrančivý jako hlas Plathové-básnířky.

Warm and honest, featuring a beautiful and inviting two-color design, combining stories, exercises, and prompts, The Sugar Jar:· Lets you see just how much energy you have and how much is being used by others.· Helps you identify what depletes you, what restores you, and how to recognize destructive patterns.· Empowers you to free yourself from performing for and serving others, teaching you to set boundaries to help you heal and recharge.· Frees you from the excess stress and exhaustion that wears you down.· Allows you to unleash your authentic self, choose joy, and find lasting balance.A compassionate teacher, Cheyenne offers a unique and much needed perspective. A former member of the Air Force working with victims of domestic violence, she has specifically designed her approach and questions about boundaries, self-care, and self-healing for readers of all backgrounds, and especially readers of color, whose stressors and life challenges have too often been excluded and overlooked. Cheyenne herself has felt unwelcome as a Black woman in predominantly white wellness groups and retreats. Her inclusive message speaks to the needs of BIPOC readers, and accepts them where they are.The Sugar Jar shows you how to make small adjustments that can lead to big changes in your life.

Since her suicide in 1963 at the age of 30, Sylvia Plath has become a strange icon. This book addresses why this is the case and what this tells us about the way culture picks out important writers. The author argues that without a concept of fantasy we can understand neither Plath s work nor what she has come to represent. She proposes that no writer demonstrates more forcefully than Plath the importance of inner psychic life for the wider sexual and political world. By the author of Sexuality in the Field of Vision.

Self-seeding windis a wind of ever-replenishing breath.-from The Walk, or The Principle of Rapid Peering The title of Sylvia Legris melopoeic collection The Principle of Rapid Peering comes from a phrase the nineteenth-century ornithologist and field biologist Joseph Grinnell used to describe the feeding behaviour of certain birds. Rather than waiting passively for food to approach them, these birds live in a continuous mode of rapid peering . Legris explores this rich theme of active observation through a spray of poems that together form a kind of almanac or naturalist s notebook in verse. Here is where nature converges with words, as the poet walks through prairie habitats near her home in Saskatchewan, through lawless chronologies and mellifluous strophes of strobili and solstice. Moths appear frequently, as do birds and plants and larvae, all meticulously observed and documented with an oblique sense of the pandemic marking the seasons. Elements of weather, ornithology, entomology, and anatomy feed her condensed, inflective lines, making the heart bloom and the intellect dance.Features drawings by the poet.
