About the book:

The complete edition of Sylvia Plath’s prose including much unpublished and previously uncollected material.

The Collected Prose stands alongside the Journals (2000) and the two volume Letters (2017 and 2018) to support a more complete understanding of Sylvia Plath’s ambition and achievement as a writer. Expanding on the selection published as Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams (1977), this volume draws together all of Sylvia Plath’s shorter prose, much of which is previously uncollected and unpublished. The volume embraces her experiments with the short story and pieces of non-fiction from the 1940s through to her more polished compositions of the fifties and early sixties, including fragments of fiction as well as her journalism and book reviews. Themes and associations become apparent as the volume offers new, intertextual ways of reading across Plath’s oeuvre, colouring and shading our understanding and appreciation of her extraordinary talent.

The second series, published in 1954, had 8 titles.

I’ve been writing a book for 4 years set during the highland clearances. I sent it to faber to be evaluated. It’s apparently good. I just wanted to put this somewhere because it’s the biggest undertaking I’ve ever done so far. Sorry it’s not art.

— Elegies, by Douglas Dunn [1985]

Propriety she had, preferring grace / Because she saw more virtue in its wit, / Convinced right conduct should have glamour in it / Or look good to an educated eye

I assume since the title refrences Sylvia Plath that there will be a recipe for her tomato cake in there, but I think it's a bit weird that they did not list it with the other examples. But anyway, looking forward to this book! :)

Wood Engraving Wednesday

ERIC RAVILIOUS

Here are a couple of small wood engravings by the noted English designer, painter, and wood engraver Eric Ravilious (1903-1942) illustrating English poet Harold Monro’s (1879-1932) poem Elm Angel, published in London by Faber and Faber as No. 26 in The Ariel Poems series in 1930. The edition was limited to 250 numbered copies on English handmade paper, and our copy is signed by the poet. Ravilious was one of the most significant wood engravers of his generation, despite dying at the age of 39 when his plane vanished over the north Atlantic during WWII.
