"Sylvia Plath and the Theatre of Mourning offers a new framework of interpretation for the texts, which attends to their formal complexity without detaching them either from their historical moment or from contemporary debates about language, gender and subjectivity. Interweaving close reading and theoretical reflection, Britzolakis argues that Plath's poetry constitutes a psychic theatre which makes the work of mourning inseparable from its performance in language, and shows how she engaged with the legacy of modernism to arrive at this distinctive mode."--BOOK JACKET

此作者可说是新一代普拉斯学者（三十多岁，包括如Tracy Brain, Tim Kendall等）中做得比较深的一位，这本书也是我认为自The Haunting of Sylvia Plath以来最深邃的一本专著。
