An American poet, novelist and short story writer, Sylvia Plath is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry. She is best known for her groundbreaking poetry collections, ‘The Colossus and Other Poems’ and ‘Ariel’, as well as her semi-autobiographical novel, published shortly before her suicide in 1963. A classic of modern fiction, ‘The Bell Jar’ starkly expresses a sense of alienation and self-destruction closely tied to the author’s personal experiences, exploring the societal restraints of women in mid-twentieth-century America. The Delphi Poets Series offers readers the works of literature’s finest poets, with superior formatting. For the first time in publishing history, this volume presents Plath’s complete works, with related illustrations and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
