The reader will feel the tension in the poetry and the life.'\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e '[Examines] Plath's twin goals of becoming a famous poet and a perfect mother. . . . This book's main points are clearly and forcefully argued: that both poems and babies require 'struggle, pain, endless labor, and . . . fears of monstrous offspring' and that, in the end, Plath ran out of the resources necessary to produce both. Often maligned as a self-indulgent confessional poet, Plath is here retrieved as a passionate theorist.'--\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e Susan Van Dyne's reading of twenty-five of Sylvia Plath's Ariel poems considers three contexts: Plath's journal entries from 1957 to 1959 (especially as they reveal her conflicts over what it meant to be a middle-class wife and mother and an aspiring writer in 1950s America); the interpretive strategies of feminist theory; and Plath's multiple revisions of the poems.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"The University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Revising Life: Sylvia Plath's Ariel Poems | Susan R Van Dyne | Paperback | 9780807844878 | Used: Very Good | Literary Criticism 1668482","offer_id":50789236375810,"sku":"1668482","price":25.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71yUG9kT_VL.jpg?v=1792296952","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/revising-life-sylvia-plaths-ariel-poems","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
