I always recall Esther’s reaction when her mother is encouraging her to learn shorthand so that she can become a secretary (for a man, of course): “The trouble was, I hated the idea of serving men in any way.” Clearly, for its time The Bell Jar is a radical feminist text in that regard. You’re absolutely right. She had shaped it carefully.

Red Comet, Heather Clark’s heroic biography of Sylvia Plath, draws on a plethora of untapped archives and letters—and even a previously undiscovered novel— to resurrect Plath from “the limbo between icon and cliché” and conclude that “the most famous woman poet of the twentieth century was neither fragile ingénue nor femme fatale.

Her raw intelligence and self-lacerating ambition are unignorable: she’s often as vulnerable as she is vivacious, and she has a keen eye for natural beauty and human situations. The dilemma he faced was of course a familial one. She’s depicting a psychodrama of extremity. All passion has been spent, she’s defeated, she’s exhausted, there’s nowhere to go, she’s trapped.

One answer to that is to say, ’Well, this isn’t the real Sylvia Plath—this is Sylvia performing for a particular audience, in this case her own mother.’ But these gender roles form an important part of Plath’s identity that she comes back to again and again in the Journals, The Bell Jar, and sometimes in her poetry as well.

Not that Plath usually wanted to present herself as a victim, but often her subject is women’s victimhood by men and patriarchy—not merely by individual men (like a husband or father), but by a whole apparatus (like the industrialized war machine, which she opposed late in her life by supporting ‘Ban the Bomb’ marches). It’s a feminist crisis, in a way, but it’s a crisis for Esther on a purely personal level, too.

What changes in the last months of her life in her writing? She knows that there’s something greater within her, but it can’t break through. She’s struggling; she’s puzzled. Like ‘Sheep in Fog’, it’s a kind of aftermath poetry. Could you say more about that? Hughes is interested almost always in predators; Plath is sometimes interested in the prey—the pheasant which may get shot, the rabbits strangled by snares—and the prey may turn out to be herself.

Known primarily for her poetry, Plath also wrote a semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas.The book's protagonist, Esther Greenwood, is a bright, ambitious student at Smith College who begins to experience a mental breakdown while interning for a fashion magazine in New York.

His other publications include Modern English War Poetry (2006), The Oxford Handbook of British and Irish War Poetry (ed.) Exactly. That’s one of the first things that attracted me about Plath’s work: that sense of acceleration, of speed, of triumph, of transcendence that comes throughout those Ariel poems. I love Berryman. This may sound like evasion, but having read those letters to her psychiatrist, and those allegations about, for example, Ted Hughes’s behavior—what more is there to say or do? The story goes that she read ‘Daddy’ aloud to her friend Clarissa Roche, and they ended up in gales of laughter. It’s a sign that Esther’s recovery may have been more complete than the novel elsewhere wants us to accept. And she is paralyzed by choice: choosing one path means turning away from all the others. Take away poems like ‘Sheep in Fog’, ‘Gigolo’, ‘The Munich Mannequins’, and ‘Totem’—all wonderful, but belonging to a later period—and you see that what makes Ariel coherent is Plath’s obsession with rebirth and transcendence. So many of these poems begin in stasis or darkness, followed by some form of eruption or acceleration. We find this also in Plath’s Journals, which were life-changing for me when I first encountered them as a teenager. Karen Kukil and Peter Steinberg have both done a fantastic job. So, in prose, Plath begins to explore a myth which we catch over and over again in Christianity and paganism, and which will go on to dominate the poetry she writes in 1962. There are also six letters in ‘Sylvia’, a little wink to the reader (or maybe just to herself, since The Bell Jar was first published under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas). Sylvia Plath is one of the defining voices in twentieth-century poetry. Almost from the start, fascination with Plath’s biography has tended to obscure the artistry of the work itself. She fought and fought and fought against all those things we’ve talked about—both social, patriarchal pressures and her own demons—in order to break through to become the kind of writer she knew herself to be. Her novel, The Bell Jar, is strongly autobiographical, and her later poems, such as ‘Daddy’ and ‘Lady Lazarus,’ show great power and pathos borne on flashes of incisive wit. “This is the light of the mind, cold and planetary. Here, he recommends the best places to start (or return to) with Plath, from a fresh look at Ariel to illuminating an oft-overlooked, brilliant appendix in her unabridged journals.

This isn’t the adoring, doe-eyed girlfriend, looking up admiringly at this hunky medical student—it’s someone who’s prepared to overturn the traditional gender roles. Someone who’s prepared to fight for art against a rather philistine science, in this case. You find proof of this all the way through the Journals, but especially in those character sketches. That’s absolutely not what the trajectory of Ariel conveys. Of course, one of the poem’s joys is that it deals with these taboo subjects through nursery-like rhythms and rhymes. It highlights through homonyms the presence of this myth: ‘Esther’ evoking ‘Easter’, and ‘Greenwood’ the symbol of spring. The theme they all kept coming back to, even 60 years after the fact, was the continuing impact of Plath on their lives. And it’s worth remembering that she wrote it at a very happy time in her marriage. We talk about how poets are born, not made, but what I always take away from every page of the Journals—and it’s a serious slab of a book—is the extent to which Plath was both born and self-made. They seem to abolish all grades between different levels of suffering, saying ‘Look at me’. A poem like ‘Sheep in Fog’ is the aftermath of that horse ride.
