A vividly rendered and empathetic biography of two of the greatest poets of the 20th century-Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton.
Gail Crowther Libri
Questa autrice approfondisce le intricate connessioni tra la letteratura, in particolare l'opera di Sylvia Plath, e concetti sociologici come la 'lettura ossessionata' e le 'suggestioni sociologiche'. La sua ricerca esplora studi d'archivio e la scrittura di biografie femministe, offrendo una prospettiva unica su come le narrazioni personali si intersecano con le correnti sociali più ampie. Attraverso la sua scrittura e le sue lezioni dedicate, illumina le complesse relazioni tra autori, le loro creazioni e l'impatto duraturo che hanno sui lettori e sulla riflessione sociale. Il suo approccio è radicato in un attento esame del passato e dei suoi echi nel presente.
