The journals stop around May of 1962 on account of Ted, controversially, destroying her final journal she kept from winter 1962 toward her suicide. The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath hold her journals between the years 1950 to 1962, from when she was attending Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts up to after she gives birth to her children, including one miscarriage. 60% of the book is material that has never before been made public, more fully revealing the intensity of the poet's personal and literary struggles, and providing fresh insight into both her frequent desperation and the bravery with which she faced down her demons. This new edition is an exact and complete transcription of the diaries Plath kept during the last 12 years of her life. Sylvia Plath's journals were originally published in 1982 in a heavily abridged version authorized by Plath's husband, Ted Hughes.
