Abstract

Using previously unexamined archive material to explore the diversities of influence in Plath's work, the author offers a close reworking of Harold Bloom's oedipal poetics of the literary canon, breaking open the model onto a recognition of the cultural and political forces through which her poetry struggles into expression. The book brings out for the first time the powerful interplay between her poetic development and the writings of Thomas de Quincey, Lawrence, Blake, and Emily Bronte.
