There were some letters referred to in this morning's blog post that I thought it might be nice to write a bit more about. Sylvia Plath wrote two letters to Kenneth Allott which are housed by the Syndey Jones Library at the University of Liverpool. When in the midst of working on the paper that I gave for the Sylvia Plath Society's conference in March (YouTube), I found myself going down a bit of

The following is the text from a paper I presented on 12 March 2022 for the Sylvia Plath Society's "Sylvia Plath Across the Century" conference. I am grateful to Dr Dorka Tamás, Kitty Shaw, and Julie Irigaray for organizing and hosting this important conference. A recording of this talk is available on the Sylvia Plath Info YouTube page.Sylvia Plath was a part of three Kathryn Irene Glascock

Susan O'Neill-Roe took a series of photographs of Sylvia Plath and her children from October to late November (or maybe early December) 1962 while she was a day nanny/mother's help at Court Green. From nearby Belstone, it was a short drive to North Tawton and the aid she provided enabled Plath to complete the masterful October and November poems and also to make day or overnight trips to London

While not a full year in review, this blog post looks back from January to yesterday to summarize what went on in the world of Sylvia Plath as I lived it. My own experiences are limited and not exhaustive, but I hope this summary is in some way useful. There were two books to come out so far: Patricia Grisafi's Breaking Down Plath in February and The Bloomsbury Handbook to Sylvia Plath in April

In November 2010 I visited for a day the Hornbake Library at the University of Maryland, College Park, to work with the Frances McCullough papers. Recently browsing through the notes made there, I was reminded about a "Did you know..." post that I wanted to write. So it only took me 12 years...The UK edition of Plath's Winter Trees was published on 27 September 1971. The American edition was

One way to add context to Sylvia Plath's letters and journals---that is, to her autobiographical life---during her years at Smith College is to read what was written about her by her classmates and/or other peers in the Smith College Associated News (SCAN) or The Sophian. Plath mentioned SCAN in a letter from her first days at Smith (26 September 1950). But even though mentions in her own

Sylvia Plath meticulously kept track of her publication endeavors. She made submissions lists from around the time she a junior in High School (1948-1949) to within days of her death in February 1963. She was assuredly the consummate professional. If a work was published she usually kept a copy of its appearance for herself, though there are some instances were poems or works in prose were not

Normally this kind of update appears in August, but for various reasons it is appearing today. Since I wrote last year, a number of new articles on Sylvia Plath's first suicide attempt have been digitized. Each was transcribed and was added to the full bibliography of articles on Plath's first suicide attempt on my website, A celebration, this is.The ten new articles appear below."Missing Student

The last few months have been interesting as I have been trying to get better organized with my Sylvia Plath files. I thought that I was really organized. At one time I was; but the move a few years back threw things funky. I recently found in my Letters of Sylvia Plath files some original periodical appearances and this post is to see if anyone wants to take them off me.  Please note that two
