Through deep analysis of six significant poems, Sarah Ruden offers a fresh perspective on Sylvia Plath's work, emphasizing her role as a master mythmaker akin to ancient Greek poets. Ruden contends that Plath's poetry transcends personal narrative, serving to explore and define the essence of human experience. This reexamination challenges prevailing narratives shaped by Plath's tumultuous life and the polarized views surrounding her legacy, illuminating her towering ambition and the depth of her genius as a poet.
