Produktbeschreibung
Recognized for her poetic work, Sylvia Plath was also a brilliant prose writer. This collection of stories, essays, and excerpts from her diaries is notable for her fierce concentration on art, the vitality of her intelligence, and the longings of her imagination. In these writings we will find Plath's early concern for the problems derived from mental illness; the complex processes of creativity and, notably, a diversity of themes that have femininity as a central axis. This work is especially evocative, as it presents the essence of her poems and all the recurring themes of her later work, and thus offers a significant insight into her development as a writer. Ted Hughes was in charge of the selection of the texts and the epilogue present in this edition. "I have to admit from the beginning that this type of publication makes me feel uncomfortable. [...] But I must also admit that I read the texts collected in The Wish Box with considerable absorption and, at times, fascination." Margaret Atwood, The New York Times
Autorenporträt
Sylvia Plath (Boston, 1932 - Londres, 1963). Escritora estadounidense especialmente conocida como poeta, aunque también es autora de obras en prosa, como la novela semiautobiográfica La campana de cristal (bajo el pseudónimo de Victoria Lucas), así como de relatos y ensayos. Junto con Anne Sexton, Plath es considerada una de las principales cultivadoras del género de la poesía confesional, iniciado por Robert Lowell y W. D. Snodgrass. Plath obtuvo una beca Fulbright que le dio la posibilidad de estudiar en la Universidad de Cambridge, donde continuó escribiendo poesía, y ocasionalmente publicaba su trabajo en el periódico universitario Varsity. Allí, en Cambridge, conoció al poeta inglés Ted Hughes, con quien se casó. Tras su muerte él se encargó de la edición de su poesía completa. En Nórdica hemos publicado Tres mujeres y Dibujos.
