Description
The second volume of this landmark edition of Sylvia Plath's correspondence.
This selection of later correspondence witnesses Plath and Hughes becoming major, influential contemporary writers, as it happened.
Experiences recorded include first books and other publications; teaching; committing to writing full-time; travels; making professional acquaintances; settling in England; starting a family; and buying a house.
Throughout, Plath's voice is completely, uniquely her own.
