5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction To Plath's Life & Work, 6 Jan 2004
By Alison Dale (Manchester UK) - See all my reviews
This is one of the best introductions to Sylvia Plath that I have read. Elaine Connell writes in a clear, coherent and eminently understandable style which is refreshingly different from much contemporary academic style.

Placing Plath in her historical context as a woman growing up in post war and Cold War America & she discusses whether we can define the poet as a feminist or not. Connell demonstrates the duality of much of Plath's work revealing her as a writer whose work demonstrates the conflict between work and home which so many modern women have experienced.

This book is ideal for students doing Plath at A level or for first year undergraduates. Poetry often presents problems for students this book should help remove many of the difficulties which they might have with the work of Sylvia Plath.
