Abstract
Following the publication, in 2018, of a consistent part of Sylvia Plath’s correspondence, scholars interested in her complex biographical and literary story found new opportunities to read the American poet in a new light. I shall explore the letters she sent to her psychiatrist, Dr. Ruth Beuscher, while also critically observing their relevance in understanding Plath’s oeuvre.
