"One of the most devastatingly moving and universally beloved books of poetry published in the 20th century." -- Time magazine

"It's hard to read the original manuscript without trying to understand what Hughes was thinking when he left out certain poems and included others. She loved him. He hurt her. All of us who love her work are caught like children in that crossfire forever." -- Los Angeles Times

"Illuminating." -- New York Review of Books

"Made up of poems that are so original in their style and so startlingly accomplished in their confessional voice that they helped change the direction of contemporary poetry, Ariel is a masterpiece." -- New York Observer

"...the publication of this 'other' Ariel will no doubt sustain the Hughes/Plath controversy for years to come, but we can be grateful for the insights provided by this restored edition." -- Library Journal

"[Frieda] Hughes' thoughts on her mother's life and writing offer a calm, tender account of a life that has too often been fodder for sensationalist coverage." -- Lisa Ko, author of The Leavers

"These are powerful poems, not outtakes and B sides, and if they expose Plath's personal pain, they also enrich our sense of her state of mind at the height of her powers." -- Time magazine

"Ariel: The Restored Edition finally puts the focus back where it belongs -- on Plath's poetry." -- Village Voice

"...a poetic landmark of the decade....a coruscating book, painfully self-revelatory, brimming with a fierce, raw energy." -- The Economist

"To women who wrote, this work was galvanizing. Sylvia . . . had a fully evolved voice." -- New York Review of Books

"Frieda Hughes has had the courage to bring her mother back, not as a symbol, but as a poet. Her poems are here and will have the last word. They remain remarkable." -- New York Review of Books

"Sometimes it takes a long time for a book to reach its readers in the form the writer intended. . . . Ariel: The Restored Edition does the job, and then some." -- Seattle Times

"...one of the most important books of poetry of the 20th century..." -- Slate

"It's like a belated gift from Plath to the 'peanut-crunching crowd' that follows her every mood, every thought, even many years after her death." -- Buffalo News

Plath's best poetry was produced, tragically, as she pondered self-destruction---in her poems as well as her life---and she eventually committed suicide. She had an extraordinary impact on British as well as American poetry in the few years before her death, and affected many poets, particularly women, in the generation after. She is a confessional poet, influenced by the approach of Robert Lowell. Born in Boston, a graduate of Smith College, Plath attended Newnham College, Cambridge University, on a Fulbright Fellowship and married the British poet Ted Hughes. Of her first collection,The Colossus and Other Poems (1962), the Times Literary Supplement remarked, "Plath writes from phrase to phrase as well as with an eye on the larger architecture of the poem; each line, each sentence is put together with a good deal of care for the springy rhythm, the arresting image and---most of all, perhaps---the unusual word." Plath's second book of poetry, Ariel, written in 1962 in a last fever of passionate creative activity, was published posthumously in 1965 and explores dimensions of women's anger and sexuality in groundbreaking new ways. Plath's struggles with women's issues, in the days before the second wave of American feminism, became legendary in the 1970s, when a new generation of women readers and writers turned to her life as well as her work to understand the contradictory pressures of ambitious and talented women in the 1950s. The Bell Jar---first published under a pseudonym in 1963 and later issued under Plath's own name in England in 1966---is an autobiographical novel describing an ambitious young woman's efforts to become a "real New York writer" only to sink into mental illness and despair at her inability to operate within the narrow confines of traditional feminine expectations. Plath was posthumously awarded the Pulitzer Prize for poetry in 1982. In recent years, there have been a number of biographies and critical evaluations of Plath's work.
