About This Item
Very good copy of the Faber & Faber paperback edition of Sylvia Plath's most famous book of poems. Purchased in London by owner in 1972. Binding is tight, pages are clean, bright, and unmarked, except for owner's name on first page. Slight edge wear at top and lower corners.
Synopsis
The poems in Sylvia Plath's Ariel, including many of her best-known such as 'Lady Lazarus', 'Daddy' and 'Fever 103 degrees', were all written between the publication in 1960 of Plath's first book, The Colossus, and her death in 1963. 'If the poems are despairing, vengeful and destructive, they are at the same time tender, open to things, and also unusually clever, sardonic, hard-minded ...They are works of great artistic purity and, despite all the nihilism, great generosity ...the book is a major literary event.' -- A. Alvarez in the Observer
