Ted Hughes in Context Edited by Terry Gifford Frontmatter More Information Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-42555-1 — Ted Hughes in Context Edited by Terry Gifford Frontmatter More Information TEDHUGHESINCONTEXT Ted Hughes wrote in a wide range of modes which were informed by an even wider range of contexts to which his lifetime’s reading, interests and experience gave him access. The achievement of Ted Hughes as one of the major poets of the twentieth century is com- plemented by his growing reputation as a writer of letters, plays, literary criticism and translations. In addition, Hughes made impor- tant contributions to education, literary history, emergent environ- mentalism and debates about life writing. Ted Hughes in Context brings together thirty-two contributors who inform new readings of the works and conceptualise Hughes’s work within long-standing critical traditions while acknowledging a new awareness of his future importance. This collection offers consideration not only of the most important aspects of Hughes’s work but also of the most neglected. terry gifford is Visiting Research Fellow at Bath Spa University’s Research Centre for Environmental Humanities.

  • Reviving the Journals of Sylvia Plath
    Plath Profiles 15 Reviving the Journals of Sylvia Plath Karen Kukil, Smith College Editor's note: The following essay was excerpted from talks given in 2000 by Karen Kukil at the International Writers' Day program of English PEN in London, as well as at Williams College, Emory University, Smith College, Boston Public Library, and New York Public Library. Quotations are from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath, 1950-1962 (New York: Anchor Books, 2000), by permission of Random House, Inc. Page numbers appear in parentheses following quotations. The essay is appeared in a slightly different version in the Smith Alumnae Quarterly (Spring 2001) and it reprinted with their permission. On February 13, 1921, Virginia Woolf wrote Katherine Mansfield: "It seems to me very important that women should learn to write" (128). I would add: It is also important that women should learn to speak. Nearly forty years after her death, Sylvia Plath, one of the most interpreted poets of the past century, is finally being allowed to speak for herself, in her own voice. The unabridged edition of her journals, which I have just edited for the Hughes family, is as faithful as possible to the original manuscripts at Smith College. As an editor, I did not tidy up Plath's words or make her behave. She is a real human being, as feisty and fresh and alive to the reader in the published journals as she is when one has the luxury to read her original manuscripts in the Mortimer Rare Book Room. By giving the world direct access to her exact words, a reassessment of Plath will undoubtedly take place.

Plath Shorthand Transcription Table from Correspondence in the Lilly Library_Key Catherine Rankovic [email protected] Key to the Aurelia S. Plath Shorthand Transcription Table from Correspondence in the Lilly Library Plath Archive Plath mss. II by Catherine Rankovic Poet Sylvia Plath’s letters to her many correspondents were collected and published in two volumes as The Letters of Sylvia Plath, vol. 1 (2017) and vol. 2 (2018). The originals of 696 letters Sylvia Plath wrote and mailed to her mother Mrs. Aurelia S. Plath, plus related letters, are preserved in the Plath mss. II collection at the Lilly Library, Indiana University at Bloomington, U.S.A. The Letters volumes reproduce the text of Sylvia Plath’s letters, but not the dozens of notes and comments Mrs. Plath hand-wrote on the letters she received from Sylvia and, after Sylvia died in 1963, on letters Mrs. Plath received from Sylvia’s husband and friends. Mrs. Plath wrote some of her notes and comments in Gregg shorthand, and until 2012 no attempt had been made to transcribe them. Transcription of the Gregg annotations provides context for Sylvia Plath’s letters and sheds light on her family life and relationships. For example, from transcription we learn that Sylvia’s letters to her mother were shared with her extended family – except for those Mrs. Plath marked in shorthand “Do not share!” Transcription reveals Mrs. Plath’s private thoughts and fears about her daughter’s or son-in-law’s choices at the time they were made and sometimes in retrospect.

  • Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes: Layers of Literary Collaboration and The
    Plath Profiles 275 Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes: Layers of Literary Collaboration and the Perpetuation of the Poetic Voice Natalie Chambers The partnership of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath was arguably one of the most mutually productive literary pairings of the twentieth century, and while the work produced during their six-and-a-half year marriage was substantial in its sheer volume and artistic merit, the bulk of the critical discussion regarding their partnership focuses not on their prolific literary production but on the marriage itself and the events that led up to Plath's suicide in February of 1963. While countless books and critical essays have been written, at a distance, about this relationship—their partnership and the tumultuous passion that fueled their creative fires—these texts are inextricably rooted in speculation, cultivated by critical hypotheses and, ultimately, dependent upon the interpretations of outsiders. Even the most in-depth investigations of their marriage and respective works—like the many biographies and essays written by major Plath scholars Susan Van Dyne, Jacqueline Rose, Lynda Bundtzen, and Anne Stevenson, as well as the biography of their marriage written by Diane Middlebrook—still remain mere versions of the truth, individual interpretations of the details that constituted a collaborative life, the work it created, and the eventual culmination in Plath's death. It is not uncommon for artists to gain posthumous notoriety and critical attention, and thus sell more of their work, as was the case with Sylvia Plath. Though her death was undoubtedly a tragic loss of talent and silencing of a powerful poetic voice, it also evoked a conflagration of public and critical interest in her work and created a flurry of activity among the literary community to publish it.

  • These Ghostly Archives 5: Reanimating the Past
    Plath Profiles 27 These Ghostly Archives 5: Reanimating the Past Gail Crowther & Peter K. Steinberg "Archival histories consist of tales we tell about the archive, and of tales the archive tells." (Helle 5) The universe of the Sylvia Plath archive is expanding. In addition to discussing long-established and worked-through archives such as the Plath papers held by Smith College and Indiana University, this series of papers has explored lesser known collections of materials such as the BBC Written Archives Centre, the Heinemann archives, and The New Yorker records. We ended our previous paper stating that "Since Plath's documents and possessions are scattered disparately in archives across the world, there are always new treasures to find" and with a quote from rare book dealer Rick Gekoski stating that "the treasure hunt must go on" (49). This is a challenge as much as it is a credo, and in this paper we continue our conversation about newly uncovered Sylvia Plath photographs, letters, and collections of archival materials. Our tales of the archive, and in particular the Plath archives, are as Anita Helle states above, a simultaneous telling. There are our experiences as researchers, and the stories we tell about our searches and finds, working alongside the stories the archives tell to us. This multi- dimensional story weaves a tale that not only informs us about Plath, but also includes history, culture, memory and time-hopping across years. As in "These Ghostly Archives 4,"1 our research for this paper took place both within the walls of traditional archives – in libraries and special collections– as well as remotely through Google queries and out of doors: both in nature and in houses where Plath resided.

  • The Post-Colonial Christ Paradox: Literary Transfigurations of A
    The Post-colonial Christ Paradox: Literary Transfigurations of a Trickster God Gurbir Singh Jolly A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Graduate Program in Humanities York University Toronto, Ontario May 2019 © Gurbir Singh Jolly, 2019 Abstract Within English post-colonial literary studies, Christianity has often been characterized as principally a colonial imposition and, therefore, only modestly theorized as a post-colonial religion that lends itself to complex post- colonial literary renderings. However, the literary implications of post-colonial Christianity will demand increasing attention as Christianity, according to demographic trends, will over the course of the twenty-first century be practiced more widely by peoples who fall under the rubric of post-colonial studies than by peoples of European ancestry. My dissertation considers how four texts—Thomas King’s 1993 novel, Green Grass Running Water, Derek Walcott’s 1967 play, The Dream on Monkey Mountain, Arundhati Roy’s 1996 novel, The God of Small Things, and Chigozie Obioma’s 2015 novel, The Fishermen—feature Christ-like figures whose post-colonial significance resides in the classical Christological paradoxes with which each is identified. Critically, each of these texts pairs Christological paradoxes with paradoxes associated with pre- colonial trickster figures or trickster spirituality. In imagining the Christ as a paradoxical, post-colonial trickster, my core texts address ambiguities and anxieties attending post-colonial pursuits of empowerment. The mixture of Christological and trickster paradoxes in these texts questions post-colonial understandings of power that remain constrained within a colonially-reinforced imaginary inclined to recognize power chiefly as an exercise in subjugation.

  • Romantic Dimensions in Sylvia Plath's Children Poems
    International Journal of IJES English Studies UNIVERSITY OF MURCIA http://revistas.um.es/ijes Love, attachment and effacement: Romantic dimensions in Sylvia Plath’s children poems JUSTYNA WIERZCHOWSKA* University of Warsaw (Poland) Received: 06/04/2018. Accepted: 30/05/2018. ABSTRACT This article examines seventeen children poems by Sylvia Plath written in the years 1960-63, in relation to the poetics of romantic love. Drawing on motherhood studies (Klein, 1975; O’Reilly, 2010; Rich, 1976; Winnicott, 1956, 1965, 1967), the maternal shift in psychoanalysis (see Bueskens, 2014: 3-6), and attachment theory (Bowlby, 1950, 1969, 1988), it reads love as a continuous human disposition, informed by one’s attachment history, and realized at different stages of one’s life (Hazan & Shaver, 1987). It specifically refers to Daniel Stern’s and Anthony Giddens’s largely overlapping concepts of maternal and romantic love to argue that Plath’s children poems are significantly infused with a poetics of romantic love. This poetics, however, becomes gradually compromised by a poetics of ambivalence, withdrawal, and self-effacement. KEYWORDS: Sylvia Plath, children poems, love, romantic love, maternal love, attachment, motherhood. 1. THEORIZING THE MATERNAL PLATH This paper examines seventeen children poems written by Sylvia Plath, focusing on the ways in which she engages in the poetics of romantic love¹. Plath wrote the poems in a relatively short period of three years between 1960, when her daughter Frieda was born, and her own death in 1963. The earliest of the analyzed poems, “You’re,” was written three months before Frieda’s birth. The following three, “Love Letter,” “Magi,” and “Morning Song,” directly address Plath’s early experience of mothering a daughter.
