Book Review of The Silent Woman : Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes

The Silent Woman : Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes


This is basically a biography of the Sylvia Plath biographies - which in and of itself is a very interesting premise. It's also a look inside biography as a genre and how biographies come about being written and published. If you're looking to learn more about Sylvia Plath, this is not the book for you. But if you've read several of her biographies already (having read her "Letters Home" and "Journals" helps also), you will hopefully appreciate this book more.
