It discusses the distinctive common features of confessional poetry in general, and focuses on the importance of psychological and mythological archetypes for a study of the poetry of Plath and Sexton in particular. It also sheds light on the significance of the psychological and mythological archetypes evoked in some of the most influential contributions of psychoanalysts Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939) and Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961) for the study of the themes and imagery in the confessional poetry of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. The themes and imagery discussed are those related to the portrayal of disturbances in the father-daughter and mother-daughter relationships, the daughter's attitude to love, marriage, and married life in general, the profound feelings of guilt, alienation and vulnerability, and, finally, death and suicide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sami Farouk Abou-Seif\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3848498138\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783848498130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e LAP Lambert Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Sami Farouk Abou-Seif","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442822033663,"sku":"9783848498130","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d03706d6-bdc4-4fca-a2b8-8b87d73a2a7d.jpg?v=1777200003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/archetypes-in-the-confessional-poetry-sami-farouk-abou-seif-9783848498130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
