AWW23: Searching for Sylvia Plath - Heather Clark

Chair: Felicity Plunkett


Sylvia Plath is a literary icon – praised and vilified in equal
measure by devotees and critics. In her afterlife, the ’crazed
poetess’ has become a legend and an entire industry has
flourished around her life, her work and her death. There have
been biographies, hagiographies, critical studies,
psychoanalytical reviews and novels dedicated to Plath. Heather
Clark has written the definitive biography. She and Felicity
Plunkett, poet and critic, share their reflections on this
remarkable writer.
