61. The 'Sylvia Plath' Effect APA Monitor article (November 2003) discusses research findings that raise questions about the relationship between mental illness and creativity, http://www.apa.org/monitor/nov03/plath.html

Volume 34, No. 10 November 2003 Considering Creativity Creative peoplespecifically, eminent female poetsmay be more prone to mental illness if they are more vulnerable to extrinsic motivational constraints, such as interpersonal relationships. Considering Creativity The 'Sylvia Plath' effect Questions swirl around a supposed link between creativity and mental illness. BY DEBORAH SMITH BAILEY Monitor staff Print version: page 42 Popular culture has long stereotyped poets as depressed and creative scientists as mad. In fact, the idea of a link between creativity and mental illness goes back to the time of Aristotle, when he wrote that eminent philosophers, politicians, poets and artists all have tendencies toward "melancholia." Indeed, there are numerous examples of famous creatorswriters like Virginia Woolf, painters like Vincent Van Gogh, composers like Robert Schumannwho have been highly successful but had or are suspected to have had a mental illness. Some studies have backed up this notion, suggesting that writers, artists and others are more likely to have a mental illness and that people with certain mental illnesses, such as depression and mood disorders, appear somewhat more likely to be creative. While some researchers have found that creative people are slightly more at-risk, others have found more grave connections, such as that they are 30 percent more likely to have bipolar disorder. However, such research is often fraught with methodological problems, including selection bias, controls that are not blinded, reliance on biographies that might play up mental illness, retrospective designs and unclear definitions of creativity. And considering that not all studies have found a link between creativity and mental illness, the jury is still out on the specific nature of the relationship, says psychologist and creativity researcher James Kaufman, PhD, of California State University, San Bernardino.

What Hughes called "her crackling verbal energy" is apparent in her poems' biting precision of word and image. Gestures in her life of defiance and ecstasy, love or despair, are re-imagined in brilliant archetypal patterns. In the year before her suicide, she was writing the poems that secured her famepoems about her children and her failed marriage, about death and her imagination.

A Nobel's Life Sylvia Plath - In Her Own Words I t was a bitter cold winter in 1963, and an American mother of two was doing her best to cope on her own in London, not long after being jilted by her husband for another woman. Poet Sylvia Plath, 30, left out bread and milk for her two toddlers sleeping in an upstairs bedroom. Then she turned on the gas. Following the posthumous publication of her Ariel poems, Sylvia Plath became a feminist cause celebre, with ex-husband poet Ted Hughes vilified as an accomplice to her death. Completely overlooked by these feminist critics, however, was Exhibit A, the writer's very own words, her semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar. Check out this description of her shock treatment: " ... with each flash a great jolt drubbed me till I thought my bones would break and the sap fly out of me like a split plant."

Elaine Connell also maintains the Sylvia Plath Forum Sylvia Plath: Killing the Angel in the House Much has been written about the tragic life of Sylvia Plath; rather less about her work. Elaine Connell's book has been composed as an introduction to the work of this controversial poet, a book which can be read and understood by the general reader Sylvia Plath, who was married to Poet Laureate Ted Hughes, gassed herself 30 years ago in 1963. Elaine Connell, whose father also gassed himself, made the work of Sylvia Plath the subject of her MA thesis. Ms Connell first became interested in Sylvia Plath twenty years ago when she realised how much in common she had with her and how Plath's poetry echoed many of her own experiences and inner feelings. Elaine Connell explores some of the controversies which have surrounded Plath's work. Are feminists right in claiming her as one of their own? Or should her poetry been seen as a product of fifties femininity? Plath was keenly interested in Robert Graves' White Goddess and his conception of the Great Goddess. Ms Connell explores how these ideas might have affected her work. The book's title has been taken from an essay by the Bloomsbury group writer, Virginia Woolf. She said that if women were to achieve as writers they had to escape from their traditional nurturing and domestic role and "kill the angel in the house".

Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain "This morning for the first time in a long time the joy again of imagining a knife twisted in my heart." Franz Kafka, diary entry, 1911 "The poet makes himself a visionary through a long, a prodigious and rational disordering of all the senses. Every form of love, of suffering, of madness; he searches himself, he consumes all the poisons in him, keeping only their quintessences . . ."

Authors Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) An Outline of American Literature by Kathryn VanSpanckeren American Poetry Since 1945: Authors: Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) Index Sylvia Plath lived an outwardly exemplary life, attending Smith College on scholarship, graduating first in her class, and winning a Fulbright grant to Cambridge University in England. There she met her charismatic husband-to-be, poet Ted Hughes, with whom she had two children and settled in a country house in England. Beneath the fairy-tale success festered unresolved psychological problems evoked in her highly readable novel The Bell Jar (1963). Some of these problems were personal, while others arose from repressive 1950s attitudes toward women. Among these were the beliefs shared by most women themselves that women should not show anger or ambitiously pursue a career, and instead find fulfillment in tending their husbands and children. Successful women like Plath lived a contradiction. Plath's storybook life crumbled when she and Hughes separated and she cared for the young children in a London apartment during a winter of extreme cold. Ill, isolated, and in despair, Plath worked against the clock to produce a series of stunning poems before she committed suicide by gassing herself in her kitchen. These poems were collected in the volume
