 | The Bell Jar by Christina Moore, Diane W. Middlebrook, Frances McCullough, Lois Ames, Sylvia Plath
Plath's only novel, published shortly before her suicide, THE BELL JAR tells the story, based on the author's own experiences, about a young woman's descent into madness. Esther Greenwood spends a month in New York City as a guest magazine editor--just as Plath did as a Mademoiselle magazine intern--and gradually loses her grip on reality. THE BELL JAR was so autobiographical that, when it was first published in 1963 in England, it appeared under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. AUTHOR: Christina Moore, Diane W. Middlebrook, Frances McCullough, Lois Ames, Sylvia Plath

 | The Divine Comedy by C. H. Sisson, Charles Eliot Norton, Dante Alighieri, David N. Higgins, Grover Gardner
Dante's masterpiece of medieval literature contains many levels of meaning, including the literal (Dante's trip through hell, purgatory, and paradise); the allegorical (the progression of the soul toward goodness); and the moral (what it takes to lead a good life). Dante's great love, Beatrice, is seen in the poem as the personification of love and goodness. AUTHOR: C. H. Sisson, Charles Eliot Norton, Dante Alighieri, David N. Higgins, Grover Gardner

 | Leaves of Grass by A. S. Ash, Dan O'Herlihy, Ed Begley, Harold W. Blodgett, Jerome Loving
LEAVES OF GRASS, Whitman's monumental and enormously influential book, was his life's work, going through nine different editions from its first publication in 1855 to the famous deathbed edition published the year he died (1892). Influenced by Eastern religions, his years as a journalist, the Civil War, 19th-century expansionism, Nature, the theater and opera, and his own liberal sexual attitudes, LEAVES OF GRASS is both a document set firmly in its time and a great transcendent work of art. It is also one of the most popular and accessible books of poems ever written, beloved since its first publication. AUTHOR: A. S. Ash, Dan O'Herlihy, Ed Begley, Harold W. Blodgett, Jerome Loving
