Sylvia Plath Day by Day, Volume 11932-1955\nAuthor(s): Carl Rollyson\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: University Press of Mississippi, United States\nImprint: University Press of Mississippi\nISBN-13: 9781496835000, 978-1496835000\nSynopsis\nSince Sylvia Plaths death in 1963, she has become the subject of a constant stream of books, biographies, and articles. She has been hailed as a groundbreaking poet for her starkly beautiful poems in Ariel and as a brilliant forerunner of the feminist coming-of-age novel in her semiautobiographical The Bell Jar. Each new biography has offered insight and sources with which to measure Plaths life and influence. Sylvia Plath Day by Day, a two-volume series, offers a distillation of this data without the inherent bias of a narrative.\n\nVolume 1 commences with Plaths birth in Boston in 1932, records her response to her elementary and high school years, her entry into Smith College, and her breakdown and suicide attempt, and ends on February 14, 1955, t.
