Since her death in 1963 at the age of thirty, Sylvia Plath has become a strange icon---an object of intense speculation, fantasy, repulsion, and desire. Jacqueline Rose stands back from the debates and looks instead at the swirl of controversy, recognizing it as a phenomenon in itself--one with much to tell us about how a culture selects and judges writers; how we hear women's voices; and how we receive messages from, to, and about our unconscious selves.

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.
