Description

Letters Home by Sylvia Plath — First Edition, 1975

This is a beautiful, Near Fine first edition of Letters Home, selected and edited with commentary by Aurelia Schober Plath. The book appears unread: pages are crisp, the binding is tight, and the interior is spotless. The dust jacket retains its vivid color and is now protected in a new Brodart archival cover.

Note: The dust jacket is price-clipped, but is otherwise in exceptional condition with only the faintest shelf wear. The clipping does not affect any text on the flap.

Letters Home offers an intimate portrait of Sylvia Plath through nearly a thousand letters written to her mother from 1950 to 1963. These letters illuminate her early promise as a writer, her scholarship years at Smith, her travels, her marriage to Ted Hughes, and her evolving artistic voice. The volume is richly illustrated with personal photographs and reproductions from Plath’s own journals.

This is a highly desirable first edition for collectors of modern literature, women’s writing, and Plath enthusiasts. Copies in this condition are increasingly difficult to find—especially tight, clean, and protected for the future.
