Refusant toute grille « systématique », il montre que le symbolisme ne se laisse pas réduire: chaque signe ouvre sur des perspectives illimitées, et l’essentiel demeure de l’ordre de l’inexprimable.

Because Plath drew so heavily on her own life in both her poetry and her fiction, the outlines of her life are familiar to listeners. Like most writers, Plath changed the facts of her life in her writing.

In this biography, the first to draw on unpublished journals and letters recently made available, Wagner-Martin examines the ironies, contradictions, and achievements of Plath's life.
