This is the first full-scale study of Plath's poetry, in which Kroll persuasively disputes the image of Plath as a death-obsessed poet whose poems were little more than vivid symptoms or a biographical record of anguish foreshadowing her suicide in 1963. Each chapter challenges its readers to confront a writer whose verse is full of tremendous complexity and nuance. Kroll shows that Plath's poems form a mythic biography presided over by a "Moon-Muse" in which depictions of death are nearly always matched with visions of rebirth and transformation. This new edition features a substantial new foreword from Kroll, in which she dispels many myths surrounding her authorship and relations with Plath's husband, Ted Hughes. Chapters in a Mythology is an original work of fresh scholarship and impressive insight that remains a compelling examination of one of the 20th century's great poets.

reviewed Chapters in a Mythology: The Poetry of Sylvia Plath on October 27, 2008 Chapters in a Mythology: The Poetry of Sylvia Plath
This book completely transformed my understanding of Sylvia Plath's poetry. It is so much more than they teach in college. There is an underlying arc in her work that I never fully grasped until reading this book.
