I'm slowly reading this book, purchased last year in London after the Oxford Sylvia Plath 75th Year Symposium. It's ... interesting, and there are some things I'm learning - or re-learning if I've forgotten them. There are several pictures of Plath from the Hughes papers at Emory that will be new to many of her readers.
