Sylvia Plath Journals To Be Printed

Everyone will finally know the real Silvia Plath.


The diaries, which are being serialized in London\’s The Guardian newspaper this week, provide new details about Plath and her turbulent marriage to British poet Ted Hughes. Plath gassed herself in her kitchen at the age of 30 a few months after Hughes left her for another woman.
