Criticism Containing Books The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

It's astounding how much I relate to Sylvia in these journals. I think all feminine beings need to read this. Her entries are honest and raw: revealing her sensitivities, obsessions, routines, insecurities...More intimate than any of her poetry books, Plath's journals offer greater insight into both her personal and literary struggles.This book is of great value to me: and I'm sure I will continue referring to it for many years.

There were moments reading this book that I had to put it down because the feelings are so vivid you feel like an intruder. There are quotes from her journal that decribe in dark detail the feelings that I am sure many women feel as they are on their own for the first time, falling in love, broken hearted, scared of failure, married, alone...Loved this book.

Look at this marvelous piece of art.But it's not all as awesome as it looks.1-30%: the amazing part. Here there is art, poetry, existentialism, truth, fear, helplessness, sadness, melancholy, anxiety, fulness, obsessions, philosophy, frustrations, desires, wonder, inner conflicts, loneliness, learning, life lessons... Everything.It can be read as a striking novelty in the literaly world, it can be read as a psychiatric/psychologic study, It can be read as a compelling insight of a complex human

it is a chilling experience to read this. if you keep a journal of your own you probably understand how odd it is to imagine people around the world curling up with it/them. i am a self-admitted voyeur so i couldn't resist this glimpse into her mind. as always, ted had a say in what we (and more importantly, her children) would know of her:"I destroyed [the last of her journals] because I did not want her children to have read it (in those days I regarded forgetfulness as an essential part of

This is more interesting than any of her publications - fiction or non-fiction. Those who want to know more about Plath must read these journals.



Sylvia captured her emotions and inner struggles beautifully and narrated everything with such impeccable honesty that it is hard not to like her. She seems to me a very evolved person and I do feel bad that she decided to leave the world so soon. This book has led me to introspect and look into myself for the emptiness and negativities that a person usually ignores. I believe it is very important to understand one's true self and this journal really helps one in doing so.
