Social Issues in Literature
-
Depression in Sylvia Plath's the Bell Jar
- Author Dedryia Bryfonski
eBook version- Published by Greenhaven Press
This volume of Social Issues in Literature examines Sylvia Plath's life and writings, with a specific look at key ideas related to The Bell Jar. The text discusses a variety of topics, including the pervasive impact of illness in the story, the novel as a search for personal identity, and the autobiographical nature of the work. The book also examines contemporary perspectives on depression, such as the sometimes deadly pressure of perfectionism on gifted teens, and the idea that depression and risk of suicide run in families.
Review:
"this series focuses on how social issues have been presented in classic literature. These books provide a unique perspective to the United States' social issues both past and present."
