London, Faber and Faber, (1966). Plath's largely autobiographical novel, which she published pseudonymously in hopes of avoiding the consequences of being recognized by her friends and neighbors, and their recognizing themselves in her book. The novel's clearcut exposition of its heroine's pain and attempted suicide was reinforced by its author's actual suicide (barely a month after publication), lending a mythic dimension to the book. Later edition, and the first edition published under Plath's own name, preceding the American edition by a full five years. Owner name on flyleaf; cocked; near fine in a near fine dust jacket with mild rubbing to the folds and a bit of wear at the crown. [#022782] SOLD
