By the time she was at Smith College, when this book begins, she had settled into a nearly daily routine with her journal, which was also a sourcebook for her writing. Plath once called her journal her \"Sargasso,\" her repository of imagination, \"a litany of dreams, directives, and imperatives,\" and in fact these pages contain the germs of most of her work. Plath's ambitions as a writer were urgent and ultimately all-consuming, requiring of her a heat, a fantastic chaos, even a violence that burned straight through her. The intensity of this struggle is rendered in her journal with an unsparing clarity, revealing both the frequent desperation of her situation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sylvia Plath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0385493916\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385493918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/11\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.01h x 5.23w x 0.89d","brand":"Sylvia Plath","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988140654847,"sku":"9780385493918","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_00b807d6-9f67-40f4-b376-405779622d11.jpg?v=1683292853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-journals-of-sylvia-plath-sylvia-plath-9780385493918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
