Synopsis The present book attempts at presenting an honest appraisal of Sylvia Plath’s poetry—from the biographic, thematic, stylistic and spiritual perspectives. While judging her poetry from the inner to the outer surfaces of the poetic sensibility, a unique poetic voice emerges. The underlying continuity of all the chapters suggests the associative unity of the poetic theme of this extraordinary poet of ‘Life’—a drive towards pure selfhood, the inner incandescence. Such an approach offers new insights into the poetry of Sylvia Plath. It is hoped that the book will be of immense use to the feminists and lovers of American literature.
