  • ** TW: This episode contains themes of suicide **


    Sylvia Plath was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century.


    During and since she died, she became known for her volatile relationship with fellow poet, Ted Hughes, as much as her own beautiful, confessional writing.


    What was Sylvia Plath like as a woman? What drew her and Ted Hughes to each other? And how did sex and sexuality influence her personality and writing?


    Joining Kate today is Emily van Dyne, author of Loving Sylvia Plath: A Reclamation, to dispel some of the myths and help us get to know this remarkable woman.


    This podcast was edited by Tom Delargy. The producer was Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.
