<br/><br/> Includes P.S. Insights, Interviews & More ... at the end of the book. It includes a biographical information about the author by Lois Ames.  Originally published: London: Heinemann, 1963.  "25th anniversary edition published 1996"--Title page verso. 
<br/><br/> [This book] chronicles the crack-up of Esther Greenwood: brilliant, beautiful, enormously talented, and successful, but slowly going under-- maybe for the last time. Sylvia Plath masterfully draws the reader into Esther's breakdown with such intensity that Esther's insanity becomes completely real and even rational, as probable and accessible an experience as going to the movies. Such deep penetration into the dark and harrowing corners of the psyche is an extraordinary accomplishment and has made [this book] a haunting American classic.
