News at Eleven: To [Al] Alvarez's credit, at a symposium

on [Sylvia] Plath in Oxford in 2007, he reinstated the view he put forward in The Savage God--that she had not meant to kill herself, but had intended to be saved. This does not seem unlikely, given that she had already been saved once. All interpretations of Plath that have interpreted her as having committed to the act of suicide when she was writing her poetry are morally unjustifiable. Nobody's suicide can be an inevitability. Forecasting Plath's death through her work is an abusive and reductive way to read her, mapping the trajectory of her death on to a life still being lived.
