Sylvia Plath
Happy New Year, and pleased to see you're still editing. It seems an age since Sissinghurst Castle Garden. I'm wondering if you can help me on Sylvia Plath. I'm doing some work on a Copyvio investigation, and I've a query regarding the "College years and depression" section, specially the bit below:
- "She was furious at not being at a meeting the editor had arranged with Welsh poet Dylan Thomas — a writer whom she loved, said one of her boyfriends, "more than life itself". She hung around the White Horse Tavern and the Chelsea Hotel for two days, hoping to meet Thomas, but he was already on his way home. A few weeks later, she slashed her legs to see if she had enough "courage" to kill herself."
Do you happen to have access to the Thomas source, so that we could check whether it is close paraphrasing? I could just re-write it, but I'm reluctant to meddle with a GA, and I know you were a major contributor. And just to be clear, I'm not for one moment suggesting your own editing may be CV, this addition was made in 2012 by a different editor. Anyways, if you can help, I'd be most grateful. Best regards.
