Ilustration As Books Ariel: The Restored Edition
Sylvia Plath's famous collection, as she intended it.When Sylvia Plath died, she not only left behind a prolific life but also her unpublished literary masterpiece, Ariel. When her husband, Ted Hughes, first brought this collection to life, it garnered worldwide acclaim, though it wasn't the draft Sylvia had wanted her readers to see. This facsimile edition restores, for the first time, Plath's original manuscript—including handwritten notes—and her own selection and arrangement of poems. This edition also includes in facsimile the complete working drafts of her poem "Ariel," which provide a rare glimpse into the creative process of a beloved writer. This publication introduces a truer version of Plath's works, and will no doubt alter her legacy forever.

5- I'm so glad I chose to read The Restored Edition of Ariel. I loved the versatility of this collection! There are two copies of each poem; The first contains some annotations via Ted Hughes, the second were reproductions taken directly from Plath's typewritten editions. There is also a lot of extra content, like notes Sylvia made on some of the more well-known poems in Ariel. This made for a very interactive read! I found myself moving backward and forward through the book, reading each poemA beautiful (if controversial) setting of Plath's last and largely greatest poems, and thus some of the 20th century's finest English -- there's no excuse to be anything but intimately familiar with the words herein. Furthermore, memorizing swaths of these poems was directly responsible for getting laid any number of times in college. If it worked for me at Georgia F'n Tech, it can work for you!
A very strong collection but just not my type. Also not very easy to read, Ive had trouble understanding most of it.
Final rating: 3.5 starsLast May I went on a cruise to Alaska with my parents, brother, and grandfather. The book I was reading at the time was crap. Fortunately for me, there was this freaking cool library on the ship.I'm going to go off on bit of a tangent here, but I think it's kinda lame how a cruise ship has a library and the island I live on hasn't had one since I was eight....Anyway, moving away from my general bitterness, let's go back the library. So I picked up this cool book called The
Reading poetry has always felt like futile detective work for me, so I was pleasantly surprised by the impact this collection had on me! Ariel, Sylvia Plaths most famous poetry collection, was written in a blood jet of creativity shortly before she committed suicide in 1963. The collection charts her emotional turmoil in the wake of her disintegrating marriage, the claustrophobic effects of domesticity, the salve of motherhood, and her conflicting attractions to both rebirth and
The poems in this collection are seething and uncompromising. Plath's use of color fascinates me, and reading these sparkling, corrosive poems aloud makes your tongue and ear dance. But being completely honest, I found a lot of them impenetrable without research. I just had absolutely no idea what was going on, and so couldn't remember most of them after I'd turned the page (with some notable exceptions like "Lady Lazarus"). I'm left with a lot of internal questions about the place of biography,
I have always meant to read a book about the life of Sylvia Plath and to learn about the whole Ted Hughes adventure but something there is that doesnt love that kind of voyeurism and to date I have avoided it. There is a sense, however, where I think Plaths poetry is so intensely personal that it would make sense to read it knowing more of the story of the American poet who killed herself on the bleak winters day in the year in which I was born.This reinstatement of Plaths Ariel has a foreword
