Sylvia Plath and Alchemy - Paul Ferguson - 12-24-2023
Short article:
"Back when I first began my Plath work, writing what would become Fixed Stars Govern a Life: Decoding Sylvia Plath (2014, Stephen F. Austin State University Press), I didn’t know squat about alchemy. I am still, by no means, an expert, save for getting the basic principles down from reading some of the texts that Plath read. As I first got into this work, I couldn’t get away from the metals and chemicals! They were everywhere in Ariel: tin, arsenic, mercury, lead, silver and gold. And the elements of air, water, earth and fire were everywhere too. It could not be ignored."
