Description
"A biography of the imagination, this book meditates on Sylvia Plath's struggle for voice. It combines the rhetoric of psychoanalysis with the rhetoric of literary criticism, assuming with Freud that the self may be read as a text and with Robert Lowell that a text may become 'by a wild extended figure of speech, something living ... a person' ..."--Ix (preface).

Vendler "examines the ways in which five great modern American poets, writing their final books, try to find a style that does justice to life and death.

"The six poets featured in The Wounded Surgeon - Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, Randall Jarrell, Delmore Schwartz, and Sylvia Plath - were the most recent constellation of great poets in our history, a group of friends, colleagues, and rivals who changed the face of American literature. Their poems about childhood trauma, madness, and sex shattered taboos about what was acceptable in poetry, inspiring the popular style of poetry now...

When Anne Sexton, Adrienne Rich, Sylvia Plath, and Gwendolyn Brooks began to write poetry during the 1940s and 1950s, each had to wonder whether she could be taken seriously as a poet while speaking in a woman's voice.

Whereas Rich tried at first to speak...
