The definitive edition of Plaths poetry for readers, scholars and studentsSylvia Plaths first Collected Poems was published in 1981. This present volume emerges out of decades of research and almost doubles the content of that previous edition.The book is in two parts. It begins with the poems Plath composed in the last ten years of her life and on which her reputation is founded, and follows with those poems written in childhood and through her student years, sourced from diaries and letters, published in school magazines, and copied into the manuscript book that Plath kept for her own records. In each instance, the editors have dated and selected the most authoritative text, and provide critical notes that offer insight into Plaths extraordinary evolution as a poet - from her early, precocious determination to be a writer to her place in literary history as the twentieth-centurys most fiercely burning star.

Its great to see a contemporary dramatist wrestling with such material.TelegraphDon Juan in SohoOne of the foremost dramatic chroniclers of modern British life. Line by line, this is the best written of all Marbers plays. You want to hang around its phrases (how often does that happen in the theatre?): hardly a minute passes without a satirical swipe, a gutsy joke.ObserverThe Red LionMarber, in this riveting new piece, uses the world of non-league, semi-pro football to explore issues of trust and loyalty and the larger division between individual ambition and the collective ethic. If big issues emerge naturally from the action, it is because Marber is writing about a world he knows intimately. Everything feels right. Guardian

In their letters from 1956 to 1960, Christin and Heinrich write about their mutual trust, their friendship and love, and their shared interests in music, literature, and politics. At the heart of their correspondence, however, is Heinrichs existential engagement with the critical theology prevalent at the university at that time, which centered on the question: How does theological research as a science relate to faith in the biblical message? And ultimately, how can faith be grounded in accordance with reason? In their letters, Heinrich and Christin discuss these questions at length, but also the political situation in Germany, then divided into East and West, and the heated debates surrounding nuclear armament in the Federal Republic.
