Short Bio
Sylvia Plath, born October 27, 1932, in Boston, Massachusetts, and passing on February 11, 1963, in London, England, was an American poet, novelist, and short-story writer. Known for her confessional style of writing, Plath explored themes of self-identity, gender, and mental illness in her work. Her only novel, "The Bell Jar," semi-autobiographical, depicts a young woman's descent into mental illness and her struggle with societal expectations.
Plath's poetry collections, including "Ariel," feature intense emotional landscapes and innovative use of imagery and language, contributing to her reputation as a significant figure in modern American literature.
Despite her career being cut short by her suicide at the age of 30, Plath's work continues to captivate and inspire, addressing universal themes of human experience.
