Sylvia Plath: Comprehensive Research and Study Guide (Bloom's Major Poets)
The Great Writers series explores the lives of some of the most talked about literary figures of the past half-century. Often considered an iconic figure to feminists, Plath is best known for her novel The Bell Jar and her controversial poetry, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1982.
This beloved American classic captures the essence of growing up in a small town in the 1930s American South. Scout and her brother Jem experience the injustice of prejudice when their father, respected lawyer Atticus Finch, defends a black man unjustly accused of assaulting a white woman. Read by Academy Award winner Sissy Spacek. Winner of the 1960 Pulitzer Prize. "A victorious reading. Spacek reads with a slight Southern lilt and quiet authority."—Publishers Weekly
