Talk:Sylvia Plath

Musical settings
The Musical settings section I added was previously removed as unsourced. I have restored it with sources for each work and claim, and removed what couldn't be sourced properly. Please feel free to comment, correct, and add works. It would be a pity to not feature musical settings, as they are intrinsic to the reception of Plath's poetry and the way her legacy is being presented.

Dylan Thomas
There is already a small amount of detail about Dylan Thomas (see second paragraph of "College years and depression"). On page 123 of his 2008 book Fatal Neglect: Who Killed Dylan Thomas?, David N. Thomas goes on to say this:
 * "That same year [1956] Brinnin's [ John Malcolm Brinnin ] book had a completely unforeseen consequence. Sylvia Plath was on holiday in Europe with her boyfriend, Gordon Lameyer. They discussed Brinnin's account of Dylan's last weeks. She vehemently argued that Brinnin should and could have prevented the poet's death. Lameyer disagreed as strongly, and the conflict severed a friendship that was already in trouble. He decided he wanted to be rid of her and, in April 1956, Plath returned to England, straight into the arms of Ted Hughes. ... Within two months she was married to him, a man and a poet she saw as Dylan Thomas incarnate. Too much like Thomas, warned Olive Prouty her benefactor. Whilst Caitlin [ Caitlin Thomas ] had been wonderful about Dylan' behaviour, would she, Plath, be able to put up with Hughes' philandering? Prouty also reminded Plath that she herself had told her about his aggression, cruelty and unkindness. Six years later Plath left Hughes and in 1963, the year that marked the tenth anniversary of Dylan's death, she killed herself."

I wonder if any of this detail deserves mention in the article, perhaps in a footnote? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:08, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
