  • Summary

    Maeve O’Brien examines the geographical isolation Plath experienced when living in in Devon, yet shows how these circumstances impacted her writing, contributing to the burst of creativity that came towards the end of her life and allowing Plath to mine her surroundings in direct ways. O’Brien shows us just how influenced by and receptive to her lived environment Plath was, and how this environment impacted on her work.
