Here are some useful links to information about Sylvia Plath, as well as her collection of poetry, Ariel.
Most of these links will be helpful for AO3 purposes (context and influences on the author and text), as well as AO4 (how her texts have been influenced by their genre).
Click here to read an interview with Plath, conducted in 1962. This will be useful to find out about her view on writing, what has influenced her writing, and could be used to generate a coursework question.
Click here to read a blog post about whether Plath can be considered a so called 'feminist author'. NOTE: this is useful for learning more about Plath, but do not use it for criticism in your essay as it is not a published/authentic source.
Click here to read an analysis of Plath's poem Ariel - the title poem of her collection. You may find this useful to inform your AO2 and analysis (language, form and structure).
REMEMBER: you must reference all sources you have used to influence your own argument and essay.
All of these links can also be found in the 'useful links' list.
