The Mayor Gallery
Sylvia Plath. Her Drawings
Until 17 December
The Guardian talks about the exhibition and particularly
Wuthering Heights:
Both Plath and her husband Ted Hughes
wrote fine poems called Wuthering Heights, neither of which exactly
played down the bleakness. "Black stone, black stone," wrote Plath.
"Iron beliefs, iron necessities," wrote Hughes. But the Plath sketch of a
tumbledown bothy included in this exhibition, called Wuthering Heights
Today, is bucolic rather than apocalyptic. (Sam Leith)
Her daughter Frieda explains some of the stories behind the drawings in this other article in
The Guardian. No comments about
Wuthering Heights, though.
