Publication Details: Heinemann Contemporary Fiction, 1964
Notes: The second edition of Plath's debut novel, preserving her anonymity with a stark statement on the dustjacket's rear panel: 'we are not in a position to disclose any details of the author's identity'. The latter would be made plain two years later, with the Faber edition issued under the author's own name.Laid in at the front is the 'Contemporary Fiction, Newsletter 24' leaflet from July 1964, with a long description of this book (the September CF Choice).A superb copy.
