Voices & Visions: Sylvia Plath (1988)

8.0/10 57 min Documentary

Overview

In this documentary you will follow in considerable (and sometimes excruciatingly painful) detail Plath's life from her childhood in Massachusetts to her suicide, at age 30, in London in 1963. Included are the candid recollections of her mother, Aurelia Plath, and such aquaintances as Clarissa Roche and Dido Merwin. Providing perspectives on Plath's work are A. Alvarez, a critic, and Sandra M. Gilbert, a feminist scholar and herself a poet.
