Since her suicide in 1963 at the age of 30, Sylvia Plath has become a strange icon. This book addresses why this is the case and what this tells us about the way culture picks out important writers. The author argues that without a concept of fantasy we can understand neither Plath's work nor what she has come to represent. She proposes that no writer demonstrates more forcefully than Plath the importance of inner psychic life for the wider sexual and political world. By the author of Sexuality in the Field of Vision.

I really think anyone who loved good writing would. I'm usually not a very harsh critic, but I had the worst time slogging through this pseudo - academic twaddle. You would think a University Professor would do better. It may be classified as an academic work, but I believe that authors have a duty to make their works " readable". It is a pity because this book had an intriguing title and seemed as though it might be interesting.
