AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ariel is Sylvia Plath’s second major collection of poetry and one of the most important - and most sought after— poetry books of the twentieth century. This British first edition was published in London in 1965, two years after the author’s death.
The collection contains some of Plath’s most famous poems, including:
“Morning Song.”
“The Applicant.”
“Lady Lazarus.”
“Tulips.”
“Cut.”
“Elm.”
“Ariel.”
“Death & Co.”
“The Moon and the Yew Tree.”
“Daddy.”
“Fever 103°.”
“The Bee Meeting.”
“Edge.”
A very good copy in its original dust jacket (now in mylar protection sleeve). The jacket has a little nicking to the head and tail of the spine. A 3 cm closed tear to the top of the rear panel, and with creasing to the edge of this. A little marking to the rear panel, and darkening to the spine.
An attractive copy. Boards are in clean condition, with a touch of bumping to the bottom edge. Slight fading to the bottom edge, particularly to the rear board.
Internally very nice, fractionally darkened pages. To the inside board is an owner's signature for David S. Miall. dated April 17th. 1965. Then aged 18, he later became professor of English at the University of Alberta.
86 pages. 22 x 14 cm.
