Sylvia Plath, née le 27 octobre 1932 à Jamaica Plain dans la banlieue de Boston et morte le 11 février 1963 à Primrose Hill , est une écrivaine et poétesse américaine, autrice de poèmes, d'un roman, de nouvelles, de livres pour enfants et d'essais.

Si elle est surtout connue de façon internationale pour sa poésie, elle tire également sa notoriété de The Bell Jar , roman d'inspiration autobiographique qui décrit en détail les circonstances de sa première dépression, au début de sa vie d'adulte. Sa vie, son œuvre et son esthétique poétique et littéraire sont le sujet de milliers d'études dans le monde entier. Wikipedia
