«The Bell Jar» is Sylvia Plath's only semi-autobiographical novel, published by Faber and Faber in paperback (258 pages, in English).
Esther Greenwood lands an internship at a fashion magazine in New York in 1953, an opportunity that should fill her with enthusiasm. Social pressure and urban life plunge her into growing alienation. The novel, ironic and lucid, portrays 1950s society through Sylvia Plath's experience.
The work was originally published in 1963 under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas; this edition belongs to the Faber Paper Covered Editions collection and dates from 1966.
For readers of literary and classic fiction interested in autobiographical narrative, feminism and mental health.
Sylvia Plath was an American poet and author. She is credited with advancing the genre of confessional poetry and is best known for The Colossus and Other Poems (1960), Ariel (1965), and The Bell Jar (1963), a semi-autobiographical novel published one month before her suicide. The Collected Poems was published in 1981, which included previously unpublished works. For this collection Plath was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1982, making her the fourth person to receive this honor posthumously.
