Aurelia Plath
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aurelia Plath (born Aurelia Schober on April 26, 1907; died of cancer in 1987) is the mother of the American poet Sylvia Plath. Their mother-daughter-relationship was a rather problematic and ambiguous one, for on the one hand they were exceptionally close to each other and on the other hand Sylvia Plath often claimed that she hated her mother. Their relationship is portrayed in Plath's semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar.
In 1975 Aurelia Plath published her daughter's letters from 1950-1963 as Letters Home.
