Sylvia Plath
ISBN: 0-571-08178-9
Publication: 1963
The Bell Jar is Sylvia Plath’s only novel and a defining work of twentieth-century literature. It tells the story of Esther Greenwood, a bright young woman whose promising future begins to unravel as she struggles with mental illness and the pressures of society. With sharp wit and unflinching honesty, Plath captures the suffocating effects of depression—what she calls living under a “bell jar.”
Both deeply personal and universally resonant, The Bell Jar remains a powerful exploration of identity, isolation, and the search for freedom.
