Summary:

This volume consists of new and old essays about The Bell Jar. The essays have some common directions: they are focused on how the time period affected Plath and her fictional counterpart Esther Greenwood; also on Esther's internal struggles and how they were dealt with by Esther and by others. There is also discussion of how Plath defined her creative life by looking at her writing process, her reading, her inspirations, and her thoughts about the writing life.
