Ariel,first published in 1965,contains many of Sylvia Plath's best-known poems,written in an extraordinary burst of creativity just before her death in 1963. Including poems such as'Lady Lazarus','Edge','Daddy'and'Paralytic',it was the first of four collections to be published by Faber & Faber. Ariel is the volume on which Sylvia Plath's reputation as one of the most original,daring and gifted poets of the twentieth century rests.'Since she died my mother has been dissected,analysed,reinterpreted,reinvented,fictionalized,and in some cases completely fabricated. It comes down to this: her own words describe her best,her ever-changing moods defining the way she viewed her world and the manner in which she pinned down her subjects with a merciless eye.'- from Frieda Hughes's introduction to Ariel
