Sylvia Plath: The Wound and the Cure of Words

by Steven Gould Axelrod

Sylvia Plath: The Wound and the Cure of Words Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Review:

"A valuable revisionary reading of Sylvia Plath's poetry and prose. Axelrod draws on psychobiographical and feminist criticism, but his primary theoretical paradigm is Harold Bloom's theory of influence, as inflected by recent interpretations of gender. His book joins the rank of indispensable works of Plath criticism, rivaled only by the contributions of Kroll and Bundtzen. His readings are powerful and exhaustive, and their lasting insight is not only into the poems themselves but into the larger generic and poetic contexts in which the poems are embedded." Reviewed by Daniel Weiss, Virginia Quarterly Review (Copyright 2006 Virginia Quarterly Review)

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 237-249) and index.
