the journals of sylvia plath sylvia plathova

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The complete edition of Sylvia Plath''s prose including much unpublished and previously uncollected material, edited by Peter K. Steinberg.The Collected Prose stands alongside the Journals (2000) and the two volume Letters (2017 and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 Plath’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(1977), this volume draws together all of Sylvia Plath’s shorter prose, much of which is previously uncollected and unpublished.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 Plath’s oeuvre, colouring and shading our understanding and appreciation of her extraordinary talent.‘To see so much of [Plath’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 . . . A major literary event and an invaluable scholarly resource.’ Heather Clark, ... Unknown localization key: "more"

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.

Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) was one of the writers who defined the course of twentieth-century poetry. Her vivid, daring and complex poetry continues to captivate new generations of readers and writers.In the Letters, we discover the art of Plath's correspondence, most of which has never before been published and is here presented unabridged, without revision, so that she speaks directly in her own words. Refreshingly candid and offering intimate details of her personal life, Plath is playful, too, entertaining a wide range of addressees, including family, friends and professional contacts, with inimitable wit and verve. The letters document Plath's extraordinary literary development: the genesis of many poems, short and long fiction, and journalism. Her endeavour to publish in a variety of genres had mixed receptions, but she was never dissuaded. Through acceptance of her work, and rejection, Plath strove to stay true to her creative vision. Well-read and curious, she offers a fascinating commentary on contemporary culture.Leading Plath scholars Peter K. Steinberg and Karen V. Kukil, editor of The Journals of Sylvia Plath 1950-1962, provide comprehensive footnotes and an extensive index informed by their meticulous research.

Cook led three famous expeditions to the Pacific Ocean between 1768 and 1779. In voyages that ranged from the Antarctic circle to the Arctic Sea, Cook charted Australia and the whole coast of New Zealand, and brought back detailed descriptions of the natural history of the Pacific. Accounts based on Cook''s journals were issued at the time, but it was not until this century that the original journals were published in Beaglehole''s definitive edition. The JOURNALS tells the story of these voyages as Cook wanted it to be told, radiating the ambition, courage and skill which enabled him to carry out an unrivalled series of expeditions in dangerous waters.

''The most detailed, amusing and accurate account ever of the post-war world of the English Establishment'' William Shawcross, Daily Telegraph''Extremely entertaining'' Jane Ridley, Literary ReviewKenneth Rose was one of the most astute observers of the establishment for over seventy years. The wry and amusing journals of the royal biographer and historian made objective observation a sculpted craft. His impeccable social placement located him within the beating heart of the national elite for decades. He was capable of writing substantial history, such as his priceless material on the abdication crisis from conversations with both the Duke of Windsor and the Queen Mother. Yet he maintained sufficient distance to achieve impartial documentation while working among political, clerical, military, literary and aristocratic circles. Relentless observation and a self-confessed difficulty ''to let a good story pass me by'' made Rose a legendary social commentator, while his impressive breadth of interests was underpinned by tremendous respect for the subjects of his enquiry. Brilliantly equipped as Rose was to witness, detail and report, the first volume of his journals vividly portrays some of the most important events and people of the last century, from the bombing of London during the Second World War to the election ...

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.

Elizabeth Gaskell''s only historical novel, Sylvia''s Lovers, is set in 1790 in the seaside town of Monkshaven (Whitby) where press-gangs wreak havoc by seizing young men for service in the Napoleonic wars. One of their victims is whaling harpooner, Charley Kinraid, whose charm and vivacity have captured the heart of Sylvia Robson. But Sylvia''s devoted cousin, Philip Hepburn, hopes to marry her himself and, in order to win her, deliberately withholds crucial information - with devastating consequences. With its themes of suffering, unrequited love, and the clash between desire and duty, Sylvia''s Lovers is one of the most powerfully moving of all Gaskell''s novels, reputedly described by its author as ''the saddest story I ever wrote''.

'There's no mistaking the writing of Sylvia Patterson' Sunday TimesHow does the big stuff in life truly change us? In late 2019, Sylvia Patterson was a celebrated pop journalist, still merrily writing about the musical greats. But with the diagnosis of a life-threatening disease, a global pandemic and the collapse of her industry, life was about to take a drastic turn. It was a misadventure that would teach her many things. The power of friendship, the shock of mortality and what happens when love is tested. How a walk in the park, a spontaneous dance and a TV hero can save your life. How your perspective can shift on everything, from work, family and music, to what truly makes you happy. And what really happens when your body, never mind your kitchen, falls apart. The follow-up to the Costa-shortlisted I'm Not with the Band, this is Sylvia's unflinching, poignant and gallows-funny odyssey through the mid-life trials we all face, as she tries to answer the big question: would it all change her, or would she stay that same old girl?

This book offers pre-service and practicing teachers with the tools, materials, teaching strategies, and theoretical understandings to implement an organic reading program for beginning readers.Utilizing the work of Sylvia-Ashton Warner and field research carried out in nine multi-age early childhood classrooms, the book advocates for organic teaching methods to promote childrenÂ’s love of reading and life-long literacy. Written in a narrative style, each chapter describes teaching strategies that are easily accessible and includes real-life classroom examples to make the implementation of an organic primary literacy program clear. With this approach, the book seeks to instill the desire and appreciation for reading; validates how books nurture and inform our lives; provides the tools and the skills to decode unknown words (word analysis skills); confirms how language is integral not only to reading but to other language arts, such as spelling, word definitions, comprehension, reading aloud, speaking; and provides the means for readers to make intelligent interpretations of text, from what is on the surface to those underlying meanings.This is a key resource for pre-service teachers and teacher educators in early literacy and early childhood curriculum courses, as well as reading specialists and students seeking teaching certification.

Sylvia Plath: Drawings is a portfolio of pen-and-ink illustrations created during the transformative period spent at Cambridge University, when Plath met and secretly married poet Ted Hughes, and traveled with him to Paris and Spain on their honeymoon, years before she wrote her seminal work, The Bell Jar. Throughout her life, Sylvia Plath cited art as her deepest source of inspiration. 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. Sylvia Plath: Drawings includes letters and diary entries that add depth and context to the great poet’s work, as well as an illuminating introduction by her daughter, Frieda Hughes.

Explores Sylvia Plath’s enduring interest and active practice in mysticism and the occult from childhood until her tragic death in 1963. Sharing her more than 15 years of compelling research—including analysis of Sylvia Plath’s unpublished calendars, notebooks, scrapbooks, book annotations, and underlinings, as well as published memoirs, biographies, letters, journals, and interviews with Plath and her husband, friends, and family—Plath scholar Julia Gordon-Bramer reveals Sylvia Plath’s enduring interest and active practice in mysticism and the occult from childhood until her tragic death in 1963. She examines Plath’s early years growing up in a transcendentalist Unitarian church under a brilliant, if stern, Freemason father and a mother who wrote her master’s dissertation on the famous alchemist Paracelsus. She reveals Plath’s early knowledge of Hermeticism, how she devoured books on the occult throughout her life, and how, since adolescence, Plath regularly wrote of premonitory dreams. Examining Plath’s tumultuous marriage with poet Ted Hughes, she looks at their explorations in the supernatural and Hughes’s mentoring of Plath in meditation, crystal-gazing, astrology, Qabalah, Tarot, automatic writing, magical workings, and use of the Ouija board.

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 (…) ...

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.

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.

Ariel, first published in 1965, contains many of Sylvia Plath''s best-known poems, written in an extraordinary burst of creativity just before her death in 1963. Including poems such as ''Lady Lazarus'', ''Edge'', ''Daddy'' and ''Paralytic'', it was the first of four collections to be published by Faber & Faber. Ariel is the volume on which Sylvia Plath''s reputation as one of the most original, daring and gifted poets of the twentieth century rests.''Since she died my mother has been dissected, analysed, reinterpreted, reinvented, fictionalized, and in some cases completely fabricated. It comes down to this: her own words describe her best, her ever-changing moods defining the way she viewed her world and the manner in which she pinned down her subjects with a merciless eye.''

Winner of the National Outdoor Book Award by the NOBA Foundation, Honorable mention for the Sigurd Olson Nature Writing Awards by the Northland CollegeWhen intrepid biology student Hanne Strager volunteered to be the cook on a small research vessel in Norway's Lofoten Islands, the trip inspired a decades-long journey into the lives of killer whales—and an exploration of people's complex relationships with the biggest predators on earth.
