Happy 62nd Birthday, The Bell Jar! 🎂 #SylviaPlath
On this day in 1963, The Bell Jar was published for the first time under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. This copy of the book from our archive was the first edition to bear Sylvia Plath's own name, with a cover by Faber designer Shirley Tucker.

Exciting new CFP for a volume on “The American Scott” from Gretchen Woertendyke and Juliet Shields. Impossible to overstate Scott’s influence on 19th-C American fiction (and American attitudes toward fiction). Looking forward to this!
