Description:
"A biography of the imagination, this book meditates on Sylvia Plath's struggle for voice. It combines the rhetoric of psychoanalysis with the rhetoric of literary criticism, assuming with Freud that the self may be read as a text and with Robert Lowell that a text may become 'by a wild extended figure of speech, something living...a person'..." -- ix (preface).
