A vividly rendered and empathetic biography of two of the greatest poets of the 20th century-Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton.
Gail Crowther Knihy
Autorka sa zameriava na prepojenie literatúry, predovšetkým diela Sylvie Plathovej, so sociologickými konceptmi ako „strašidelné čítanie“ a „sociologické strašenie“. Jej tvorba sa ponára do archívnych štúdií a feministického životopisu, čím ponúka jedinečný pohľad na to, ako sa osobné príbehy prelínajú so širšími spoločenskými prúdmi. Prostredníctvom svojej odbornej práce a prednášok odhaľuje zložité vzťahy medzi autormi, ich dielami a trvalým dopadom, ktorý majú na čitateľov aj na spoločenskú reflexiu. Jej prístup je založený na dôkladnom skúmaní minulosti a jej ozvien v súčasnosti.
