The Bell Jar

To this day, Sylvia Plath's writings continue to inspire and provoke. Her only published novel, The Bell Jar, remains a classic of American literature, and The Colossus (1960), Ariel (1965), Crossing the Water (1971), Winter Trees (1971), and The Collected Poems (1981) have placed her among this century's essential American poets.

Sylvia Plath was born on October 27, 1932, the first child of Aurelia and Otto Plath. When Sylvia was eight years old, her father died--an event that would haunt her remaining years--and the family moved to the college town of Wellesley. By high school, Plath's talents were firmly established; in fact, her first published poem had appeared when she was eight. In 1950, she entered Smith College, where she excelled academically and continued to write; and in 1951 she won Mademoiselle magazine's fiction contest. Her experiences during the summer of 1953--as a guest editor at Mademoiselle in New York City and in deepening depression back home--provided the basis for The Bell Jar. Near that summer's end, Plath nearly succeeded in killing herself. After therapy and electroshock, however, she resumed her academic and literary endeavors. Plath graduated from Smith in 1955 and, as a Fulbright Scholar, entered Newnham College, in Cambridge, England, where she met the British poet, Ted Hughes. They were married a year later. After a two-year tenure on the Smith College faculty and a brief stint in Boston, Plath and Hughes returned to England, where their two children were born.

Plath had been successful in placing poems in several prestigious magazines, but suffered repeated rejection in her attempts to place a first book. The Colossus appeared in England, however, in the fall of 1960, and the publisher, William Heinemann, also bought her first novel. By June 1962, she had begun the poems that eventually appeared in Ariel. Later that year, separated from Hughes, Plath immersed herself in caring for her children, completing The Bell Jar, and writing poems at a breathtaking pace.

A few days before Christmas 1962, she moved with the children to a London flat. By the time The Bell Jar was published under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas, in early 1963, she was in desperate circumstances. Her marriage was over, she and her children were ill, and the winter was the coldest in a century. Early on the morning of February 11, Plath turned on the cooking gas and killed herself.

Plath was posthumously awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1982 for her Collected Poems.

Esther Greenwood is brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under—maybe for the last time. In her acclaimed and enduring masterwork, Sylvia Plath brilliantly draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that her insanity becomes palpably real, even rational—as accessible an experience as going to the movies. A deep penetration into the darkest and most harrowing corners of the human psyche, The Bell Jar is an extraordinary accomplishment and a haunting American classic.

读后感

<The Bell Jar>在微博上有人提到这本书,正愁着找新书读就去书店给买了回来。 这是第一本让我读到绝望的书。本该是一本Plath的半自传式小说,血淋淋的让我读出了自己在里面的影子。网上对于Plath的自杀有各种揣测,更不乏极度缺少想象力的宣传式语句:“或许感情越是热烈,普...

无论从作者还是主人公来说,刚开始都是一个很美好的形象,自立自强,动脑筋,聪明,快乐,活泼。 不知道为啥,会选择这样一个很悲剧的结局。人生的命运在于思考在于实践,不在于绝望,或者消极地面对。 看了这个故事很难过。也为作者不值得。~~~~~她如果活到80岁,可以创作更...

我在想 不该用一个自杀而死的女士作为我的精神标榜。但我似乎无法抵抗她的文字。是这样,还没有大量的读过她的诗篇,就先看了这个自传类小说,从前总觉得自传要厚厚一本,要尽量的流水账,长版的简历一样啰啰嗦嗦的阐述一生。 她是一个让我目不转睛的女人。一年以前...

一口气读完了《钟形罩》,我已想不起来上一次如此酣畅淋漓的阅读是在何时。虽然最近在《le conte de Monte Cristo》,《Sans famille》,《Nouvelles choisies de Maupassant》之间不断轮流转换,却是对于短语及句子结构的兴趣大于作品本身,并无多大的阅读乐趣可言。 如若...

曾读过西尔维娅·普拉斯的诗集《未来是一只灰色的海鸥》里的一些诗,那些“重口味”的纠缠在一起的意象,太诡异了,显得高深莫测。这些诗歌,带给普拉斯一世盛名,极尽哀荣。对她有一定认识的人,应该都想看看她唯一的长篇《钟形罩》写了些什么,从中也许还能找到解读她的诗歌...

"To the person in the bell jar, blank and stopped as a dead baby, the world itself is the bad dream."

Liked this book in the first place until I founded out it's no more than the diary of a whiny young woman who merely happened to know how to arrange words properly...This world chews up and spits out thousands of weak people everyday, why should I bother to care about this one?

whining, touchy, gloomy, jumps a lot, simply not my type of read. 《钟形罩》

看了豆瓣的评论,难道这本书只是我们的女文青自怨自怜自我装B的产物吗?
