Abstract:
If, as Jacqueline Rose (1991) claims, Sylvia Plath is a ghost that haunts our culture, a ghost created from myths, stories and fantasies, then what happens to these myths and fantasies when they seep into the world at large? This piece of research aims to explore the notion of haunting. How does Sylvia Plath return and in what way does she inform the lives of her readers? This research collects, combines and critiques the 'creative autobiographies' of Plath 'reader-fans' and engages in the ongoing debates about the problematic nature of ethnography (Skeggs, 1995, Lawler, 2000) thus contributin

S’appuyant sur l’étude de manuscrits, textes et oeuvres picturales non publiés, ce travail examine les influences artistiques, le travail de l’image et la représentation du regard dans l’oeuvre de Plath. Cette dernière s’affranchit progressivement d’une esthétique formaliste qui fait du poème un artefact pictural figé, et de la vision le fondement de l’écriture. Influencés par l’esthétique cinématographique et la grammaire des rêves, ses derniers poèmes envisagent au contraire l’écriture comme un processus à la fois dynamique et violent.

Abstract:
On a creative and a personal level, Sylvia Plath seems to have been fascinated by the relationship between life and death. Her work reflects an ongoing preoccupation with duality and a sense of tension between two opposing forces suffuses virtually every poem she wrote in the period from 1956 to early 1963. Because her attitude to both life and death is deeply ambivalent, Plath's poetry rests on a strong awareness of conflict and her art is characterized by a continual pull between extremes. This thesis is an examination of how she uses images of life in poems that ostensibly deal with death.W

This thesis reads Elizabeth Bishop and Sylvia Plath for their poetic engagement psychoanalysis. This reading nuances their relation to confessional poetry. By 'confessional' I mean the term first used to describe Robert Lowell's 'Life Studies' (1959), and later to describe the poets that were influenced by him. My main intervention is that what makes Bishop and Plath's poetry appear confessional owes to their engagement with psychoanalysis. Confessional poetry provokes psychoanalytic interpretation, but these two poets are not the passive object of psychoanalytic interpretation. Instead they u

Abstract:
This body of work attempts to interpret Sylvia Plath’s and Ted Hughes’ literary career from a point of view that extricates itself from the standard discourses surrounding their private lives, discourses that often distort insights into their poetry. Starting from the authors’ biographies, in the first chapter I will argue, among other things, that truth and fiction are often mixed in the portrayal of Hughes’ and Plath’s lives, especially as far as their marriage and the interpretation of their works are concerned. Hughes’ Birthday Letters (1998) has often been defined as the poetic version of

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to establish how American writer Sylvia Plath utilizes the non-human animal image to explore gender roles and identity. Despite the overwhelming amount of criticism that has been dedicated to Plath's writing and life, the use of non-human animals in her work has rarely been addressed. A primary focus will be on the violence and aggression evident in a large amount of her poetry, much of it aligned with gender and the non-human animal image. In examining the ways in which Plath utilizes animals, a distinction becomes apparent between the majority of her earlier wri

The purpose of this thesis was to examine the mouth imagery (images of eating, tasting, swallowing, and devouring) in the poetry of Sylvia Plath in terms of its meaning of Plath's art. An examination of Plath's Collected Poems reveals that both the prevalence and specific nature of the mouth imagery make it a significant part of her poetic vision. The mouth imagery differs from the other threatening imagery in Plath's poems because, unlike the threat of death presented by the moon or sea, the mouth imagery describes a threat humans cannot detach themselves from; they must contribute to the "gr

John Berryman, Sylvia Plath and W. D. Snodgrass are each commonly associated with the poetic movement known as ‘confessionalism’ which emerged in the USA in the late 1950s and early 1960s. They did not, however, write works of undiluted autobiography; through close readings of their Holocaust verse, I take the poetry, rather than the lives of the poets, to be the ultimate authority on what they had to say about history, about the ethics of representing historical atrocity in art, and about the ‘existential’ questions that the Nazi genocide raises.

A recent trend in the study of Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath often dissociates Confessional poetry from the subject of the writer and her biography, claiming that the artist is in full control of her work and that her art does not have naïve mimetic qualities. However, this study proposes that subjective attributes, namely negativity and abjection, enable a powerful transformative dialectic. Specifically, it demonstrates that an emphasis on the subjective can help manifest the process of transgressing the law of One.

I use the phrase ‘(Post)Modernist Biofiction’ to describe these novels. The parenthetical ‘(post)’ refers both to my subjects’ chronological positioning pre, mid, and post Modernism, and to the genre’s partial engagement with theoretical developments. T

Inicialmente publicado em 1963 sob o pseudônimo Victoria Lucas, A redoma de vidro traz como personagem principal e narradora Esther Greenwood, a qual faz duras críticas aos papeis atribuídos às mulheres nos Estados Unidos nos anos 1950, enquanto passa por um colapso, que culmina em tentativa de suicídio. Depois de o romance ser republicado, reconhecendo a autoria de Sylvia Plath, na Inglaterra em 1966 e nos Estados Unidos em 1971, ele foi objeto de diversas leituras críticas feministas, sendo mais recente o enfoque no romance como estudo de caso. Nesta dissertação, busco estabelecer um diálogo

Abstract:
This study of the poetry of Elizabeth Bishop and Sylvia Plath goes beyond the usual practice of labelling these writers either as reticent or Confessional. Instead, it places greater emphasis on their visual poetics which privileges the process of creativity – the different modes of seeing – over ethical and political considerations. I begin by discussing what each knew of the other and proceed to examine their common interest in perception and interpretation. Bishop and Plath seek to understand the depiction of ‘reality’ and the various forms that this takes: the concrete fact, the object or

Abstract:
Sylvia Plath’s poetry continues to receive considerable attention from a variety of groups and has been the target for such diverse critical approaches as Feminism, Ecocriticism, and Marxism, to name but a few. My paper focuses on a less investigated area of her poems: Space, and more specifically uncanny space in her later poetry. Here, I take a closer look at seven of her poems using as my preferred methods deconstruction and psychoanalytical theory.

La tesi si articola in tre capitoli: il primo mira a fornire una panoramica ad ampio spettro sulla lunga esperienza di Giudici traduttore, per focalizzarsi in seguito sul travagliato rapporto che lo legò alle poesie di Sylvia Plath. Dal corpus della poetessa americana, infatti, il ligure selezionò e tradusse quarantadue componimenti, pubblicati da Mondadori nel 1976 in un volumetto intitolato Lady Lazarus e altre poesie. Nel secondo capitolo, vero fulcro dello studio, si tenterà un’analisi stilistica e metrica di queste traduzioni, volta all’individuazione di alcune costanti operative e degli

Abstract:
<p>This essay focuses on female identity formation in patriarchal society in Virginia Woolf’s <em>To The Lighthouse </em>and Sylvia Plath’s <em>The Bell Jar</em>. Both authors portray female characters who struggle with the normative gender identity. As the novels represent different eras and locations, the two characters examined in this essay, Woolf’s Lily Briscoe and Plath’s Esther Greenwood, have very little in common on the surface. However, both authors deliver similar feminist social criticism concerning the negative impact of patriarchal norms on female identity formation. This study a

Abstract:
<p>This work studies three texts by Sylvia Plath: “Lady Lazarus”, “Daddy” and <em>The Bell Jar </em>from a feminist, gender and cultural perspective. I investigate how the texts take a stand regarding the motive and meaning of the representations of suicide in these works through the theoretical framework of African-American activist Huey Newton. The Black Panther party cofounder Newton redefines the concept of suicide. First and foremost he views suicide as a reaction to social conditions, coining the terms Reactionary Suicide and Revolutionary Suicide. Revolutionary Suicide is fueled by hope
