Ariel: The Restored Edition

Sylvia Plath's famous collection, Ariel, is presented to readers in the way she intended it to be seen. Plath had left behind a literary masterpiece when she died, and when her husband Ted Hughes published the collection, it received global acclaim, although it was not the version Plath had envisioned for her readers. The facsimile edition of Ariel presents Plath's original manuscript, handwritten notes, and her own selection and arrangement of poems. Furthermore, it features the complete working drafts of her poem 'Ariel,' offering readers a rare glance into the creative process of a beloved writer. This edition offers a more accurate rendering of Plath's works and is sure to change her legacy forever. The extra 16 pages of insights into the book included in this P.S. edition, comprising author interviews, recommended reading, and more, add to the value of this beautiful book.
