“I took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am": First Edition of Sylvia Plath's Classic The Bell Jar
First American edition of Sylvia Plath's only novel. Octavo, original half cloth, illustrated with eight pen-and-ink drawings by Plath. Biographical note by Lois Ames. Near in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. Jacket design by Amy Isbey Duevell.
Originally published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas" in London by Heinemann in 1963, The Bell Jar was released just before Plath's death. The book was eventually published in the United States in 1971, garnering much attention as a semi-autobiographical narrative. Today, it is considered a masterwork of feminist literature, dealing with themes of societal oppression, mental health, and gender roles.
