Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Loving Sylvia Plath by Emily Van Duyne A nuanced, passionate exploration of the life and work of one of the most misunderstood writers of the twentieth century FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Sylvia Plath is an object of enduring cultural fascination-the troubled patron saint of confessional poetry; a writer whose genius is buried under the weight of her status as the quintessential literary sad girl. A pro-Plath polemic, Loving Sylvia Plath examines these myths in order to dismantle them and asks why, when Plath speaks frankly about her husbands brutality, we refuse to take her at her word.Emily Van Duyne-a superfan and scholar-radically reimagines the last years of Plaths life, confronts her suicide and the construction of her legacy, and offers feminist, interdisciplinary readings of her extraordinary poetry. Drawing from decades of study on Plath and her husband Ted Hughes, the chief architect of Plaths mythology; never-before-seen archival materials; and a nuanced, empathetic understanding of the experience of domestic violence; Van Duyne seeks to undo the silencing of Sylvia Plath and resuscitate her as the hard-working, brilliant writer she was. Author Biography Emily Van Duyne is an associate professor at Stockton University and a 2022 Fulbright Scholar. Her work has appeared in Literary Hub, Womens Studies Quarterly, Harvard Review, and American Poetry Review. She lives in New Jersey. Review "Emily Van Duyne reveals Plath as she was: the best of her, the worst of her, the parts she hid in plain sight, the parts she made harder to find. I inhaled Loving Sylvia Plath: A Reclamation like (what else?) air." -- Jessica DeFino, Guardian columnist and beauty reporter"[Van Duyne] carefully, almost tenderly, combines research with experience. " -- Bethanne Patrick - Los Angeles Times"In Loving Sylvia Plath, Emily Van Duyne sets out to radically reimagine the last years of Plaths life and recontextualize her legacy by undoing her silencing and exploring the brilliance of her work. This book is perfect for lovers of poetry and literary history alike. " -- Michael Welch - Chicago Review of Books"Impassioned... Effective in [its] takedown oof the literary establishment that closed ranks around Hughes to protect him against feminist pushback from the 1970s on... Compelling and well argued.
