This Is the Light of the Mind – Selections from the Sylvia Plath Collection of Judith G. Raymo

With meticulous care, Judith G. Raymo presents an impressive array of Sylvia Plath's published and personal writings. As Raymo notes in her insightful introduction, Plath's journals, when read in tandem with her correspondence to her mother, friends, and family "provide us with an abundant record of a writer's interior and private life and its many turning points." Expanding on an exhibition held at the Grolier Club, this catalogue includes an essay by Plath's award-winning biographer Heather Clark.
