La Femme silencieuse - Sylvia Plath et Ted Hughes

Autor: Janet Malcolm

Número de Páginas: 217

Après avoir étudié les liens troubles de l'enquêteur et de son sujet dans l'éblouissant Journaliste et l'assassin, Janet Malcolm, figure emblématique de la littérature du réel, propose dans La Femme silencieuse une méditation sur l'art de la biographie. Au travers de la relation du couple Ted Hughes et Sylvia Plath, et des tentatives biographiques dont ils ont fait l'objet, elle décrypte les vies racontées de la poétesse afin d'écrire non pas sur la vie tragique d'une artiste mais plutôt sur le devenir posthume de son œuvre, et la façon dont se raconte son histoire. Elle examine la relation ambiguë entre Sylvia Plath et son mari, le poète Ted Hughes qui, en tant qu'exécuteur testamentaire, a tenté de servir deux causes : l'art de son ancienne épouse et son propre besoin d'intimité, et comment il poussa sa propre sœur, Olwyn Hughes à devenir l'agent littéraire de la défunte pour se protéger en limitant l'accès à l'œuvre de Plath. Cas limite questionnant l'invisibilisation ou l'appropriation dont font l'objet les œuvres littéraires dès lors qu'elles sont signées d'une femme. Alors même que Janet Malcolm se montre sceptique quant aux prétentions...

A literary biography of the late American poet, viewing her as something of a bitch-goddess and attempting a linkage between her life's passing and her poetry's creation.

La caja de los deseos. Ensayos y relatos

Autor: Sylvia Plath

Número de Páginas: 447

Reconocida por su obra poética, Sylvia Plath fue también una brillante escritora de prosa. Esta colección de cuentos, ensayos y extractos de sus diarios destaca por su feroz concentración en el arte, la vitalidad de su inteligencia y los anhelos de su imaginación. En estos escritos encontraremos la temprana preocupación de Plath por los problemas derivados de las enfermedades mentales; los complejos procesos de la creatividad y, de manera destacada, una diversidad de temas que tienen la feminidad como eje central. Esta obra es especialmente sugestiva, pues presenta la esencia de sus poemas y de todos los temas recurrentes de su trabajo posterior, y ofrece así una visión significativa de su desarrollo como escritora. Ted Hughes se encargó de la selección de los textos y del epílogo presente en esta edición. «Tengo que admitir desde el principio que este tipo de publicación me hace sentir incómoda. [...] Pero también debo admitir que leí los textos reunidos en La caja de los deseos con considerable absorción y, en momentos, fascinación». Margaret Atwood, The New York Times

Ariel

Autor: Sylvia Plath

Número de Páginas: 0

Publicado póstumamente en 1964, este es el último poemario de Sylvia Plath y llegó envuelto en una cierta polémica, pues su marido, Ted Hughes, editó el manuscrito original suprimiendo o añadiendo algunos poemas. Esto dividió a la crítica entre los que lo consideraban una intromisión y los que entendían que Hughes y Plath solían colaborar. Finalmente, en 2004, salió a la luz la edición íntegra de Ariel que ahora presentamos, con la selección y organización original de los poemas, en edición ilustrada. Esta obra es una brillante muestra del estilo poético de la gran escritora estadounidense, de versos alternativamente brutales y suaves, cortantes y acariciadores.

SYLVIA PLATH

Autor: Taïna Tuhkunen-couzic

Número de Páginas: 397

Le premier versant de cette étude propose une plongée dans l'univers bleu des poèmes de jeunesse de Sylvia Plath, l'un des plus grands poètes américain des années 60, pour s'achever sur la fulgurance ultime, imprégnée de rouge, d'Ariel. Le sujet en gestation se révèle indissociable de l'émergence du texte dans l'œuvre de ce poète qui est l'un des seuls à avoir obtenu le Prix Pulitzer à titre posthume. Maints mythes, rythmes et figures archaïques sont revues et déconstruits pour dire ce monde sous cloche, univers de recherche autant que de détresse.

Sylvia Plath

Autor: Suman Agarwal

Número de Páginas: 196

This book celebrates Sylvia Plath's achievements as a highly prolific writer who brought a path breaking revolution in the world of poetry thereby making each woman feel the pulse of life. A confessionalist of both weight and colour, Plath was not scared to openly pen down her feelings what she underwent and in no way was she different or less as compared to her contemporaries and the modernists. This enigmatic personality plunged into depression and resorted to hair raising incident of rendering a note to her life by committing suicide at the age of 32. Disdaining political and social subjects, Plath was a different breed from the beat-nicks of her own time and all this goes to prove that she was stunningly original and a powerful poet. Even 40 years after her death in 1963, her place in English literature, is assured. Twentieth century has been a devastating one especially when one is to peep into writers’ personal life which has been nerve wrecking and this book is an attempt to analyze Plath, her life, writings and also her relation to modern poets.

Soy vertical, pero preferiría ser horizontal (Flash Poesía)

Autor: Sylvia Plath

Número de Páginas: 80

Sylvia Plath, una de las grandes poetas del siglo XX, llega a la colección «Poesía Portátil». Sylvia Plath es una de las poetas más admiradas del siglo XX. Sus versos, que a lo largo de los años han ido cobrando protagonismo especialmente después de que se quitara la vida a los treinta años, son un intento de expresar su desesperación y su obsesión por la muerte. Sus poemas se pueden considerar en gran parte autobiográficos y exploran su angustia mental, su problemático matrimonio con el también poeta Ted Hughes y los conflictos sin resolver con sus padres, así como la visión que tenía de ella misma. Tanto ella como su obra se ha ido perfilando hasta el día de hoy como uno de los grandes iconos del feminismo, y su poesía -en especial El coloso y el póstumo Ariel-, como objetos adorados, valiosas pruebas de que Sylvia Plath fue una de las grandes figuras de la literatura del pasado siglo. Después de más de cincuenta años de ser escritos, sus versos todavía contienen toda su intensidad, todo su dolor y toda su belleza. ------- « Entonces el cielo y yo conversamos abiertamente. Y seguro que seré más útil cuando al fin me tienda para siempre: entonces...

Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) was one of the writers that defined the course of twentieth-century poetry. Her vivid, daring and complex poetry continues to captivate new generations of readers and writers. In the Letters, we discover the art of Plath's correspondence. Most has never before been published, and it is here presented unabridged, without revision, so that she speaks directly in her own words.

The Other Sylvia Plath

Autor: Tracy Brain

Número de Páginas: 254

Despite being widely studied on both undergraduate and postgraduate courses the writing of Sylvia Plath has been relatively neglected in relation to the attention given to her life and what drove her to suicide. Tracy Brain aims to remedy this by introducing completely new approaches to Plath's writing, taking the studies away from the familiar concentration to reveal that Plath as a writer was concerned with a much wider range of important cultural and political topics. Unlike most of the existing literary criticism it shifts the focus away from biographical readings and encompasses the full range of Plath's poetry, prose, journals and letters using a variety of critical methods.

Claiming Sylvia Plath

Autor: Marianne Egeland

Número de Páginas: 388

Over the years, Sylvia Plath has come to inhabit a contested area of cultural production with other ambiguous authors between the highbrow, the middlebrow, and the popular. Claiming Sylvia Plath is a critical and comprehensive reception study of what has been written about Plath from 1960 to 2010. Academic and popular interest in her seems incessant, verging on a public obsession. The story of Sylvia Plath is not only the story of a writer and her texts, but also of the readers who have tried to make sense of her life and work. A religious tone and a rhetoric of accountability dominate among the devoted. Questing for the real or true Sylvia, they share a sense of posessiveness towards outsiders or those who deviate from what they see as a correct approach to the poet. In order to offer a new and more nuanced perspective on Plath’s public image, the reception has been organized into interpretive communities composed of critics, feminists, biographers, psychologists, and friends. Pertinent questions are raised about how the poet functions as an excemplary figure, and how – and by whom – she is used to further theories, politics, careers, and a number of other causes. Ethical...

The Journals of Sylvia Plath

Autor: Sylvia Plath

Número de Páginas: 393

The electrifying diaries that are essential reading for anyone moved and fascinated by the life and work of one of America's most acclaimed poets. Sylvia Plath began keeping a diary as a young child. By the time she was at Smith College, when this book begins, she had settled into a nearly daily routine with her journal, which was also a sourcebook for her writing. Plath once called her journal her “Sargasso,” her repository of imagination, “a litany of dreams, directives, and imperatives,” and in fact these pages contain the germs of most of her work. Plath’s ambitions as a writer were urgent and ultimately all-consuming, requiring of her a heat, a fantastic chaos, even a violence that burned straight through her. The intensity of this struggle is rendered in her journal with an unsparing clarity, revealing both the frequent desperation of her situation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons.
