The Collected Prose of Sylvia Plath

The complete edition of Sylvia Plath's prose collects a broad range of shorter works, including much that was previously unpublished or uncollected. Edited by Peter K. Steinberg, this volume expands on the earlier Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams to bring together prose from the 1940s through the early 1960s, encompassing fiction fragments, non-fiction, journalism and book reviews. It positions Plath's prose alongside her journals and letters to support a fuller understanding of her ambition, experimentation and achievement as a writer.

This edition presents new intertextual readings across Plath’s body of work, inviting readers to see connections between her fiction, essays and criticism. It serves as a major scholarly resource, offering a comprehensive view of her prose development and the breadth of her literary voice.

The Collected Prose is published by Penguin Random House USA and includes a substantial 848 pages in hardcover, reflecting the depth and scope of Plath’s shorter prose across several decades.
