im a simple gal, the moment i heard sylvia plath, i remember the fig analogy, my heart skips a beat and i must know why we are mentioning her

she was not a woman lost within her own mind. you're video does a beautiful job at communicating that dakota, but i think it needs to be reiterated. it breaks my heart to see so many young girls seeing her work and then her death and decontextualising both, seeing her for just her psychological suffering; everytime i do i just want to take them by the shoulders and yell 'she also lived! she also lived!' women, especially intellectuals, are too often disguised from their genius by superficial notions of beauty or torment or purity. what plath should be remembered as is a woman who created, openly and unashamedly and powerfully, despite the pain inflicted on her.

i would watch an entire hour of you talking about sylvia plath, im obsessed with her

thank you for bringing up the racism-part!! i read the bell jar a few months ago and it was honestly shocking to read those racist comments in it. i informed myself a little about sylvia plath after reading her novel and a bit of her poetry, but i never saw anyone talk about this (granted, i only scarcely researched her, but i feel like it should've been mentioned in at least one of the three articles i read). and though she was of course influenced by the time she lived in - as we all are and always were - in the back of my head i was always like: this is so unnecessary. she proved herself to be a great writer and poet, who had a very specific way with words and there are so many words to, for example, describe your appearance without making racist comments. another thing that was immediately in my head was that i've read so many classics before the bell jar that were even older than that novel and they didn't have an ounce of racism in it (ofc that doesn't mean they weren't racist, buuuut..) sorry for my little rant, but thank you again for bringing it up!

just wanna reiterate my note at 18:42 - not everybody makes it to the end of the video but this is an important one x

I am actually reading Heather Clark's biography of Plath right now. I was surprised to learn that she so fetishied Jewishness, and gravitated toward the marginalized. She felt a lot of guilt because of her German background, and had a lot of leftist views. I didn't know any of this. I haven't got to the part where Ted is as bad as everyone says he is, I'm up to the beginning of their marriage. This biography is supposed to be the best one because the others tend to look at everything in her life as clues to her eventual suicide, even writings before she experienced any signs of mental illness. Even though I'm not done with it, I highly recommend giving it a read. It's called Red Comet the Short Life and Blazing Art of Sylvia Plath (if you don't know of it).

the hair looks so good on you

I'm chuffed to see this video as I very much enjoy Plath's work and studied it in great depth for my university work. Just around the corner from that blue plaque is the location where she actually passed away, which coincidentally has a blue plaque too (for WB Yeats as he used to live there). I had a great time studying her work and it definitely influenced my output. I also read a lot of Ted Hughes's work, which I also enjoyed, and it was quite a challenge because a lot of the focus can be on their marriage rather than their fantastic writing. Frieda Hughes, their daughter, is also a poet and painter. Enjoyed watching this video!

i've just come back from my first trip to london with my lovely friends (im from canada), and i can't believe i didn't know she lived there!! my hotel was just above primrose hill lolol,, i yearn to go back so badly. there is something so special about london, i relate to her words to intensely and cannot wait to live there eventually :,) anyways thank u for this video

I just searched up your name hoping wildly you had a new video out. and voila!! you're a gem, dakota :)

Hi I adore you so much (you have no idea) and Sylvia Plath is my absolute icon- I feel like people know her cause she was depressed etc, but I'm reading her letters and journals and I relate to her because... she felt so much??? The good and the bad? She believed in what she was doing and this makes me so wonderfully excited. I love you Dakota.

I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE! TURN IT UP!

the queen has posted again‼️

The blurred effect in your video makes me think of the soft focus on Julia Margret Cameron's photography.

This is only 20 minutes of dakota being disgusted by Ted hughes

yes to the 4am frenzied writing video

i got completely entranced by the articles you posted in the description and even started reading ariel and i completely forgot to pack for a trip i have tmrw morning

ughhh my day was rough and terrible but here u are :)) i love u always

thank you so much for this video 🎀

Dakota, your book blurb you did in another video reminded me of the movie Thirteen

Love the Plath with all my creativity. I visited for work at Cambridge University in Nov/Dec for seven weeks, I followed Sylvia’s footsteps all around Newnham College and Eltisley Avenue in Cambridge. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and effervescence for Sylvia. Morning Song, one of my favourite poems.🇦🇺📚😊

i love you dakota, thank you.

It was nice to walk along her street in Primrose Hill with all those golden leaves - you're so lucky to live in a city with so much incredible history everywhere. I picked up a really nice Faber edition of her complete works last year at a book fair and I think I'll take it with me when I go away next week for a few days. I only discovered your channel the other day and have really enjoyed what I've seen so far - I'll probably watch a few more episodes when I'm away. All the very best to you.

You did so well Dakota ❤

i love the vibes of your videos

Thanks for taking us to Sylvia’s house… I hope someday to visit E. Dickinson’s homestead in Amherst, Mass. Am a new follower, so looking forward to watching more of your videos, and also learning more about your writing

She sounds amazing and incredible ❤

I prayed for this video.

I would watch an entire hour of you dissected sypvia plaths life and her marriage to ted hughes because we're studying him in school right now and I absolutely despise him!

Happy holidays Merry Christmas ❤❤

I LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Thanks for the poetic therapy Dakota!

sylvia>>

I hated The Bell Jar but I’m excited for this!!

this video was made for me oh my

a lady dakota history series would be amazing

Apparently she had a thesaurus beside her all the time she was writing.

There is always sun ... however here in England there is often cloud cover ...

I LOVE SYLVIA PLATH I JUST FINISHED A PROJECT BOUT HER FOR LITERATURE

"..when i get old i shall wear purple and a red hat which doesn't go..."

I wanna try this so bad but the problem is I never have a lot to write. I always finish after 5 minutes 😢

😮

Can someone tell me the name of the movie she has on her Lock Screen wallpaper? I watched it once but forgot the name. I’ll appreciate anyone’s help

Irrelevant, but if you put 1 Guinea through an inflation calculator for 1960 its like £19.45. So they were likely paying around £116 pw with inflation considered. Which is still incredibly cheap for London, but also a lot more realistic.

вы такая уютная!!

I love you so much my muse...❤❤❤venusian goddess on the purity ray kumara

I am really wanting to read Sylvias poetry, but don't know where to start😫any suggestions ?

what camera do you use ?

NICE BERET, REMINDED ME OF CAMMY FROM STREET FIGHTER 😂 =)

Facinating. I thought you were english until you mentioned that Silvia and you were not from england. The semi-hatred of Ted Hughes does not allow the possibility that living with Silvia might have been difficult with her obvious previous mental illness.

I like you. What did you studied? 😊

I'm doing my whole project on Sylvia plath and I just hate Ted Hughes so much.

One of my fav videos you’ve ever done 🥹 Thank you🫀
