    <body><![CDATA[Whoo-boy, nobody has given me more trouble than Sylvia Plath.  Only Byron may be as difficult in seperating the personality from the work, and with him we at least have a good bit of time since the works were actually written.  I half-wonder if anybody can really be objective about her work.  <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12500160">more...</a>]]></body>
