{"product_id":"sylvia-plath","title":"Sylvia Plath","description":"\u003cp\u003eSylvia Plath is one of the most influential and iconic American writers of the twentieth century, popular with academic and general audiences alike. Plath, who died at age 30, left behind a body of work that changed the direction of modern poetry, and buttressed second-wave feminism. Her poetry and fiction have been especially important to generations of women readers who have found a powerful reflection of their own emotions and experiences in Plath's art. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this incisive introduction, leading Plath scholar Heather Clark explores the intersections between Plath's life and work while discussing key themes in Plath's poetry collections \u003cem\u003eThe Colossus \u003c\/em\u003eand \u003cem\u003eAriel\u003c\/em\u003e, her novel \u003cem\u003eThe Bell Jar\u003c\/em\u003e, and short stories 'Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams,' 'The Wishing Box,' and 'Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom.'
