摘自《西尔维娅·普拉斯书信集》卷一：1940-1956 年和第二卷：1956-1963 年的评论：

“西尔维娅·普拉斯不仅是一位伟大的诗人，她还创作了二十世纪优秀的散文……她写的信非常机智和生动。它们的出版是文学界的一件大事。”——《泰晤士报》

“这些信件时而凄美，时而发人深省，时而平庸，时而滑稽，时而自我陶醉，记录了二十世纪知名的诗人之一不断变化的情绪、抱负以及智力和创造力的发展。””—— 《标准晚报》

“普拉斯以极其强烈、残酷和抒情的语言探索了内心和外部景观，其影响力如此巨大，以至于文学界从此为她的离去而哀悼。”——《金融时报》

The complete edition of Sylvia Plath's prose including much unpublished and previously uncollected material, edited by Peter K. Steinberg.

The Collected Prose stands alongside the Journals (2000) and the two volume Letters (2017 and 2018) to support a more complete understanding of Sylvia Plath's ambition and achievement as a writer. Expanding on the selection published as Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams (1977), this volume draws together all of Sylvia Plath's shorter prose, much of which is previously uncollected and unpublished. The volume embraces her experiments with the short story and pieces of non-fiction from the 1940s through to her more polished compositions of the fifties and early sixties, including fragments of fiction as well as her journalism and book reviews. Themes and associations become apparent as the volume offers new, intertextual ways of reading across Plath's oeuvre, colouring and shading our understanding and appreciation of her extraordinary talent.

From reviews of The Letters of Sylvia Plath, Volume I: 1940-1956 and Volume II: 1956-1963:

'Sylvia Plath was not only a great poet, she also forged some of the best prose of the twentieth century. . . she wrote letters of extraordinary wit and vivacity. Their publication is a major literary event.' The Times

'These letters are by turns poignant, revelatory, banal, hilarious and self-absorbed, documenting as they do the changing moods, ambitions and intellectual and creative development of one of the twentieth century's most celebrated poets.' Evening Standard

'Such was the impact of [Plath's] exploration of both inner and outer landscapes in staggeringly intense, brutal and lyrical language that her loss to the literary world has been mourned ever since.' Financial Times
