Sylvia Plath was one of the defining voices of the twentieth century, and one of the most appealing: few other poets have introduced as many new readers to poetry. The poems in this fresh and inviting edition were chosen by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy. In my selection, which is roughly chronological to shadow her progress, I have tried to walk through the landscape of Sylvia Plath's poetry as though for the first time, fifty years older than I was when she died. In doing so I have experienced afresh the almost physical excitement I felt when I first read this bold, brilliant, brave poet who changed the world of poetry for us all. - Carol Ann Duffy

Brillante studentessa di provincia vincitrice del soggiorno offerto da una rivista di moda, a New York Esther si sente «come un cavallo da corsa in un mondo senza piste». Intorno a lei, l'America spietata, borghese e maccartista degli anni Cinquanta: una vera e propria campana di vetro che nel proteggerla le toglie a poco a poco l'aria. L'alternativa sarà abbandonarsi al fascino soave della morte o lasciarsi invadere la mente dalle onde azzurre dell'elettroshock. Fortemente autobiografico, La campana di vetro narra con agghiacciante semplicità le insipienze, le crudeltà incoscienti, gli assurdi tabù che spezzano un'adolescenza presa nell'ingranaggio stritolante della normalità che ignora la poesia.
