Sylvia Plath
Robert Robinson introduces a special edition to mark the publication of Letters Home - the correspondence of the American writer Sylvia Plath , whose auto-biographical novel The Bell Jar and books of poetry, The Colossus and Ariel, established her as one of the outstanding talents of her generation. Sylvia Plath committed suicide in London in 1963 and since then a myth has grown up around her-a myth born of the savage intensity of her last poems and of the portrait of herself in The Bell Jar. The letters now provide a kind of autobiography.
AURELIA SCHOBER PLATH , the poet's mother who has edited the letters and written a commentary, talks to ROBERT ROBINSON at her home near Boston, Massachusetts, about her reasons for publishing the letters, about Sylvia's early ambitions, about the myths and about the secret sequel to The Bell Jar. SUSAN JAMESON reads extracts from Sylvia Plath 's work.
