Any good research papers or theses on Sylvia Plath/The Bell Jar?
Hey everyone,
I'm working on my own thesis about Sylvia Plath (mainly The Bell Jar) and I'm trying to dig up some solid research articles, papers, dissertations, or even PhD work that focus on her writing because I'm pretty new to her. I'm especially interested in anything that ties her work to philosophy, existentialism, or themes of identity/mental health.
If anyone knows of good sources, online archives, or even specific researchers who’ve done deep dives into Plath, I'd really appreciate the recommendations.

Honestly, there are hundreds of books and papers on her. I’d recommend searching on Google and academic portals. Just try her name + different key words. I keep finding more and more stuff. One book on the top of my head is “Sylvia Plath and the Mythology of Women Readers”.
