During her early childhood, Sylvia's father Otto suffered from a lengthy illness. Otto, certain he had cancer, did not seek treatment initially. When he finally did see a doctor, a case of diabetes was diagnosed but by that time his illness was advanced. His end was fraught with suffering which included the amputation of a leg. Reference to the leg is made in "Daddy" Otto died just days past Sylvia's 8th birthday. In October 1955, Sylvia attended Newnham College at Cambridge University on a Fulbright scholarship. After a series of go nowhere relationships and numerous blind dates, Sylvia met Ted Hughes at a St. Botolph's party on February 25, 1956. They were married on a rainy day in London on June 16th of the same year and honeymooned in Benidorm, Spain. Ted Hughes describes the details of their wedding beautifully in his poem "A Pink Wool Knitted Dress" in Birthday Letters. In December 1959 Sylvia and Ted returned to England. Sylvia was pregnant and due to give birth in the spring of 1960. On April 1st, Frieda Rebecca was born. During her pregnancy, on February 10th, Sylvia signed a contract with William Heinemann Ltd. to publish The Colossus, which was to come out in October 1960. Outwardly Sylvia showed amazing energy. She scoured and scrubbed their London flat, wanting a pretty home for herself, her husband and their yet to be born baby. Inwardly she felt exhausted and barely able to carry on, but unwilling to let the world know and her circumstances pressed in on her. She wanted everything, and the writing was her outlet and her curse. It was both her salvation and her undoing.

Notable American Unitarians Sylvia Plath Sylvia Plath (October 27, 1932-February 11, 1963) was a poet, literary critic, novelist, diarist, correspondent and sometime social activist. On the evidence of her intensely confessional poetry, Plath's personal theology was humanist, with a leaning toward nature mysticism. Throughout her short life she associated closely with the Unitarian church. After her suicide Plath was taken up as a martyr and heroine of the feminist movement. As a child in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, Sylvia attended the Unitarian church with her parents, Otto and Aurelia Plath. She went to a Methodist church when the family lived in Winthrop, Massachusetts, where there was no Unitarian congregation. After Otto died in 1940, Aurelia joined the Wellesley Unitarian Church, where she taught in the Sunday school. Sylvia joined the church youth group and attended a Star Island Unitarian youth conference in 1949. Concerned about the prospect of nuclear war, Sylvia and her friend Perry Norton wrote an anti-arms race essay, "A Youth's Plea for World Peace," which appeared in the Christian Science Monitor (March 1950). While a student at Smith College, Sylvia wrote her mother that she believed in "the impersonal laws of science as a God of sorts...." In a religion course she wrote a paper on Unitarianism and identified herself as an "agnostic humanist."

Help Search: Biography of Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) Sylvia Plath Sylvia Plath was born in Boston, Massachusetts on October 27, 1932, and spent her early childhood years in Winthrop, a seaside town in the Boston area. Her mother parents were Austrian ?migr?s, while her father, an immigrant from Poland, was a professor of biology at Boston University and an internationally known expert on bees. However, her father died in November 1940 after a protracted illness and her family moved to the more conservative suburb of Wellesley. Plath was essentially raised by her grandmother while her mother taught students at the medical-secretarial training program at Boston University. At an early age, Sylvia began to write poems and to draw in pen and ink. She published her first poem at age eight, and by the time she was seventeen she was an experienced writer. Her first published work came in 1950, a short story in the magazine Seventeen entitled "And Summer Will Not Come Again," while the Christian Science Monitor published a poem called "Bitter Strawberries" that same year. That year Plath entered Smith College on a scholarship endowed by Olive Higgins Prouty, the novelist and author of Stella Dallas. The next year she won Mademoiselle magazine's fiction contest with a short story "Sunday at the Mintons" and was awarded two Smith poetry prizes and elected to Phi Beta Kappa. In 1953, Esther returned home to her Boston suburb after working at a fashion magazine internship, where she made her first suicide attempt and was hospitalized for psychotherapy; these events, among other biographical details, are paralleled in

Home Join Subscribe Login ... Movies Sylvia Plath Born: October 27, 1932 // Died: February 11, 1963 Born to middle class parents in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, Sylvia Plath published her first poem when she was eight. Sensitive, intelligent, compelled toward perfection in everything she attempted, she was, on the surface, a model daughter, popular in school, earning straight A's, winning the best prizes. By the time she entered Smith College on a scholarship in 1950 she already had an impressive list of publications, and while at Smith she wrote over four hundred poems. Sylvia's surface perfection was however underlain by grave personal discontinuities, some of which doubtless had their origin in the death of her father (he was a college professor and an expert on bees) when she was eight. During the summer following her junior year at Smith, having returned from a stay in New York City where she had been a student ``guest editor'' at Mademoiselle Magazine, Sylvia nearly succeeded in killing herself by swallowing sleeping pills. She later described this experience in an autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, published in 1963. After a period of recovery involving electroshock and psychotherapy Sylvia resumed her pursuit of academic and literary success, graduating from Smith summa cum laude in 1955 and winning a Fulbright scholarship to study at Cambridge, England. In 1956 she married the English poet Ted Hughes, and in 1960, when she was 28, her first book, The Colossus, was published in England. The poems in this book-formally precise, well wrought-show clearly the dedication with which Sylvia had served her apprenticeship; yet they give only glimpses of what was to come in the poems she would begin writing early in 1961. She and Ted Hughes settled for a while in an English country village in Devon, but less than two years after the birth of their first child the marriage broke apart.

19. Sylvia Plath Forum: Home Page The sylvia plath Forum is a fascinating forum for discussing the issues surrounding the life and poetry of sylvia plath in excess of 100000 words. http://www.sylviaplathforum.com/

Tuesday, 1 January 2008 In January 1998, Elaine Connell started this Sylvia Plath Forum - ten years ago this month , following the announcement of the publication of Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes. In the very first of thousands of forum messages, Elaine wrote "The literary world has been stunned by the announcement that Plath's former husband, Ted Hughes is about to publish a new collection of narrative love poems entitled Birthday Letters (Faber & Faber) which provide a detailed account of the poets' relationship with each other. He also intends to publish all her diaries in England next year. Thirty five years after her death! Personally, I'm still reeling from the shock after such a long silence I've always thought that we would never get either the diary or Hughes' personal story until after his own death, if at all." The success of the Forum far exceeded the expectations of Elaine and her colleagues. It was soon receiving thousands of hits every month and, with her informed moderation, became a fine example of how literary discussion could be on the newly emerging Internet. Elaine made many good friends from the forum and we know that other contributors met up after exchanging emails. With the death of Elaine in October 2007, we have decided that the ten year anniversary is a good time to bring the discussions here to a close.

20. Neurotic Poets - Dylan Thomas sylvia plath graduated summa cum laude in June, with a Fulbright scholarship that would send her to Cambridge to study literature in the fall. http://www.neuroticpoets.com/plath/

Neurotic Poets Translate: English Deutsch Italiano Sylvia Plath S ylvia Plath demonstrated a talent for words when she began speaking at a much earlier age than most children and was writing complete poems by the age of five. Her parents, Otto Plath and Aurelia Schober had met when Otto was the professor for one of Aurelia's courses at Boston University. Aurelia had graduated second in her high school class, was valedictorian of her Boston University undergraduate class, and was a teacher of English and German studying for her master's degree. Otto, whose ancestral German name had been "Platt", was a professor of German and Biology (his specialty was bees) who was married, but separated thirteen years, when he met Aurelia. Sylvia was born on October 27, 1932 in Boston after her parents had married on January 4 of that year. Her younger brother Warren was born a few years later in April of 1935. During the latter half of the 1930's Otto became increasingly ill and was convinced of his self-diagnosis of lung cancer. He refused to seek medical care due to the lack of a cure or effective treatment at that time. In 1940 after suffering ill health for years, Otto was forced to see a doctor for an infection in his foot. The doctor diagnosed the illness Otto had been suffering from as not cancer, but diabetes now so advanced that it threatened his life. Otto's leg had to be amputated in October after he developed gangrene, and he spent the rest of his days in the hospital declining rapidly. Otto Plath died on the night of November 5, 1940, and when the eight-year-old Sylvia was informed of her father's death, she proclaimed "I'll never speak to God again."
