- Title
Sylvia Plath's Kitchen: Domestic monotony and domestic magic in "Lesbos" and "A Birthday Present".
- Authors
Ives Taylor, Sarah
- Abstract
Confessional poetry has frequently been seen as a substitute for the therapist's couch rather than a sustained aesthetic practice. Sylvia Plath is a much more political writer than she has been given credit for; and "Sylvia Plath's Confessionalism: Housewifery and housework – from monotony to magic" aims to reveal the extent of that politicisation, through an investigation of her gendered view of the kitchen as a unique theatre of conflict.
