Summary

The literary critic Cornelia Pearsall reveals Plath’s life-long preoccupation with war, showing us how it permeates Plath’ss correspondence and filters into her poetry and prose, gaining in focus and momentum towards the end of her writing life. Pearsall establishes yet another crucial angle through which we can read Plath’s deliberately outward looking political and historical engagement, as opposed to any narrow view of merely personal and biographical concerns.
