Sylvia Plath – Winter Trees – First UK Edition 1971
£175.00
A first edition, first printing of Winter Trees by Sylvia Plath, published by Faber in 1971. A near fine book free from internal inscriptions, in the publisher’s original navy blue cloth boards with silver titles to the spine, with slight handling wear to the head and foot of the spine, the top edge of the text block with minor spotting and browning. The near fine unclipped wrapper with browning to the spine and rear panel.
Winter Trees by Sylvia Plath is a posthumous poetry collection that offers a compelling insight into the poet’s thematic concerns and distinctive poetic style. Plath’s exploration of nature in the context of winter serves as a metaphor for her personal struggles and inner turmoil. In these poems, winter symbolises emotional coldness, isolation and the idea of death and rebirth, often reflecting her own psychological complexities and challenges with mental health.
