In the News: <\/em><\/strong>Sylvia Plath\u2019s The Bell Jar<\/em> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The novel The Bell Jar<\/em>, \u00a0about a college woman who suffers through a mental breakdown in the 1950s, was originally published fifty years ago under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. It would turn out to be the only novel published by poet Sylvia Plath. Like the book’s main character, Plath herself had gone through periods of depression that required psychiatric hospitalization. Approximately one month after the book\u2019s release, Plath committed suicide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
