Sylvia Plath Forum discussion board to close...

Chris Ratcliffe announced today that the Sylvia Plath Forum will close to further discussion following the death in October of Elaine Connell, the moderator. The Sylvia Plath Forum celebrates this month, its 10th anniversary.

To the benefit of all Plath scholars, the contributions to the Forum will remain online.

I found that it of news sad, but not surprising. I wonder where discussions will take place now. I am glad the site and its archive are remaining.

I think that is incredibly sad news - the forum was so important for the Plath community and to glean new info and details of new publications, articles, etc. It is a shame no one could be found to take it on. I only hope you continue with your own blog as it has been invaluable in the slow demise of the forum.

Best wishes, and happy new year

I agree with both of you. I, too, was not surprised at the news but at the same time I feared its eventuality.

That the pages will remain online should continue to benefit internet users.

I do plan to continue this blog!! Also, I do seek comments and information about books, events, etc. from its readers.
