Plath Profiles 3 is still in production. We’re hopeful to have everything wrapped up shortly. But to feed your Plathetite (Plath + appetite)...I’ve posted a detail from the cover on Plath Profiles website.
As you know, each issue features an image and on the website we have a detail. This time around, the cover image comes courtesy of the Lilly Library. It is a swatch (or section) of the wallpaper that Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes had in their bedroom. The swatch was sent by Plath to her mother in February 1960. For those who have worth with this letter and the swatch in Plath mss. II, it will be familiar. For those who haven’t, it’s just one small example of the wonders of Plath’s archives (and, all archives in general for that matter). To help contextualize, I’ve contributed a small “Note” on the wallpaper to the issue. But you have to wait a few days for that...
So, what are you waiting for, go check out the detail swatch.
