Sylvia Plath’s 'Ariel' is a landmark of 'Confessional Poetry.' Most of the poems were written in a frantic burst of creativity in the months before her suicide in 1963. These poems are noted for their raw, violent imagery and their exploration of feminine identity, depression, and domesticity. When the collection was posthumously published by her estranged husband Ted Hughes, he significantly altered the order of the poems and removed some of the most biting pieces. It wasn't until 2004 that a 'Restored' version was published, following Plath's original intended arrangement. This editorial controversy sparked decades of debate about artistic legacy and who has the right to control a poet's voice after their death.
