Sylvia Plath was an American novelist, short-story writer, and poet. Following her deep depression and suicide, controversy has surrounded the final events of her life, writings, and legacy.

In addition to her poetry, she wrote a semi-autobiographical novel entitled The Bell Jar, which was published soon after her suicide.
