Sylvia plath Faber & faber (Faber & Faber)

In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet of the past. By their choice of poems and żeby the personal and critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors offer insights into their own work as well as providing an accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest poets in our literature. Sylvia Plath (1932-63) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and studied at Smith College. In 1955 she went to Cambridge University on a Fullbright scholarship, where she met and later married Ted Hughes.
