Student Guide to Sylvia Plath

With a variety of works available by a single author, interested readers can see how Plath's prose relates to her poetry. A combination of talent, daring and drama guarantees Plath's poems an aura that will keep them on stage for a long time. "The Unabridged Journals", where Sylvia practiced her craft, will always stand tall without the poems, and remain a model for young would-be writers to see what it takes to succeed. "The Bell Jar" and the short stories are the result of the practice that went into the "Journals", illustrating stages in Sylvia's career as well as aspects of herself.
