  • Summary

    The fashion historian Rebecca C. Tuite provides a detailed account of the pervasiveness of Plath’s engagement with fashion throughout her literary and visual work, showing for the first time how powerful Plath’s interest was from the outset, and remained throughout her writing life. Tuite reveals the contradiction in the Plath who was critical of the cultural and economic influence of fashion, but also able to draw on it artistically and aesthetically, as well as to take personal pleasure in it.
