Ariel

Ariel, first published in 1965, contains many of Sylvia Plaths best-known poems, written in an extraordinary burst of creativity just before her death in 1963. Including poems such as Lady Lazarus, Edge, Daddy and Paralytic, it was the first of four collections to be published by Faber & Faber. Ariel is the volume on which Sylvia Plaths reputation as one of the most original, daring and gifted poets of the twentieth century rests.
