Description

The Colossus was published in 1960. It was the first volume of poetry by Sylvia Plath and remained the only work in the genre that came out during her short life. Nonetheless, its ingenuity and diversity had already proven her to be a colossal figure in the field when she died in 1963. Later, the posthumous publication of Ariel, another exceptional volume of poetry, ensured her a place among the greatest poets of all time.

About the Author

Sylvia Plath was born on October 27, 1932 in Boston, Massachusetts. She studied at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Later, she went on a Fulbright scholarship to study at Newnham College at the University of Cambridge, England. There she met Ted Hughes at a party in February 1956 and they married in June of the same year. They lived in the United States and later in England and had two children. Plath spent most of her adult life in depression. She made many unsuccessful attempts at her life and finally committed suicide on February 11, 1963.

Plath was an exceptionally gifted poet and is frequently dubbed as one of the best woman poets of the western world. She won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for The Collected Poems in 1982. She wrote fiction too and her semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar is one of the most read novels today.
