Author: Kroll, Judith,
Title: Chapters in a Mythology: the poetry of Sylvia Plath.
Description: NY, Harper, (1976). 1st ptg. G PB. Kroll reconciles Plath's suicide to the use of suicide in her poems and her fascination with death as connected with a. broader concern with the themes of rebirth and transcendence. The Boston Herald calls Kroll's analysis brilliant, how despite her psychological terrors, her immense talent and intelligence were able to integrate her life and work into a marvelously inventive world of myth, giving her poetry a new dimension that transcends the merely autobiographical. Slight edge wear.
