Sylvia Plath

Her frank, confessional style of writing won her many fans around the world, and she remains very popular over forty years after her death.

This new CD from British Library Publishing brings together BBC recordings from the British Library Sound Archive, and includes Plath discussing and reading from her work.

A particular highlight is a 1961 recording of a BBC programme Plath recorded with her husband, Ted Hughes, where they talk about their marriage and what it means to live with your muse.

Many of these recordings are published here for the first time.
