The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath

First American edition, first printing of Plath's only novel, a semi-autobiographical account of mental illness and societal oppression. Originally published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas" in 1963, Plath would tragically commit suicide one month later. It was not published in the United States until 1971, in accordance with the wishes of both Plath's ex-husband Ted Hughes and her mother.  

New York: Harper & Row, 1971. Publisher's original boards over maroon cloth spine, lettered in metallic silver; pp. (viii), 296. An about near fine copy in a very good or better, price-clipped dust jacket. Binding remains tight, sturdy and square. Minor shelfwear to boards, rubbing to bottom edge of boards. Internally clean. Jacket shows just light shelfwear with a minor crease near spine heel. A very presentable copy, protected in archival mylar.
