Spanning fiction, private diary writing and poetry, the set pairs Plath's only novel with her intimate journals and her most celebrated poetry collection. Published by Faber & Faber in brand-new paperback, it is an ideal introduction for new readers, a valuable resource for students and scholars, and a thoughtful gift for anyone drawn to confessional, deeply personal literature. About the Books The Bell Jar follows Esther Greenwood, a talented young woman who wins a coveted internship at a New York fashion magazine in the summer of 1953. It charts Esther's descent from ambition into depression as she confronts a society reluctant to take women's aspirations seriously. Semi-autobiographical and first published under a pseudonym, it remains essential reading for its unflinching look at mental illness and identity. The Journals of Sylvia Plath gathers exact, complete transcriptions of the diaries Plath kept during the final twelve years of her life. Covering her marriage to Ted Hughes, her creative process and her struggles with depression, the journals are a key source for the poems collected in Ariel and The Colossus, offering an unfiltered view of the writer behind the work. Ariel, first published in 1965, gathers many of Plath's best-known poems, written in a concentrated burst of creativity shortly before her death in 1963. Featuring poems such as "Lady Lazarus," "Edge," "Daddy" and "Paralytic," it is the collection upon which Plath's reputation as one of the most original and daring poets of the century largely rests. Three genres in one set: fiction, memoir-style journals and poetry, covering the full range of Plath's voice. Bran
