<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This erudite critical study...breathes new life into Plath scholarship.--<em>Publishers Weekly</em>, starred review<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When Ted Hughes's <em>Birthday Letters</em> was published in 1998, it was greeted with astonishment and acclaim, immediately landing on the bestseller list. Few suspected that Hughes had been at work for a quarter of a century on this cycle of poems addressed to his first wife, Sylvia Plath. In <em>Ariel's Gift</em>, Erica Wagner explores the destructive relationship between these two poets through their lives and their writings. She provides a commentary to the poems in <em>Birthday Letters</em>, showing the events that shaped them and, crucially, showing how they draw upon Plath's own work. Both narratively engaging and scholastically comprehensive.--Thomas Lynch, <em>Los Angeles Times</em> Wagner has set the poems of Hughes's <em>Birthday Letters</em> in the context of his marriage to Plath with great delicacy.--<em>Times Literary Supplement</em>
