Heather Clark
RaveLibrary Journal... exhaustive ... Unlike other biographies of Plath (1932-63), Clark’s traces her subject’s literary and intellectual development rather than concentrating on her undoing through suicide ... Clark quotes extensively from previously unpublished primary sources such as letters and diaries, focusing on the poet’s works as well as her life ... A masterful biography, that will especially interest literary scholars.
Martha Ackmann
PositiveLibrary JournalThe compelling, eminently readable, novel-like style of Ackmann’s writing makes this new take on the poet’s artistic and personal growth highly recommended for both scholars and casual readers long captivated by the \'Belle of Amherst.\'
Gillian Gill
PositiveLibrary JournalDespite the occasionally gossipy tone and casual language that detracts from the work’s overall scholarly perspective, this volume will be welcomed by readers and students curious about the cultural aspects of Woolf’s development as a writer.
