SUMMARY:Talk: Sylvia Plath\, Witchcraft & Radical Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Explore the politics of the witch trials and powerful witch imagery in Sylvia Plath’s poetry. Followed by Q&A. \n\n\n\n\nSylvia Plath is best known for her novel The Bell Jar (1963) and her emotive\, striking poetry. She grew up in Massachusetts\, close to Salem\, a place closely linked to the history of the witch trials. During the 1950s\, renewed public interest in these events influenced Plath’s writing and imagination. Plath often used images of witches and witch trials to explore power\, identity and injustice. Her poetry reflects her concerns about control and authority in society\, while also showing sympathy for those unfairly accused. \nIn this talk\, Dr Dorka Tamás explores how Plath connects with witchcraft and poetic language\, and how the figure of the witch appears in different forms in her work. We’ll look at the contrast between fictional “evil” witches from fairy tales and the real historical victims who were accused of witchcraft\, and punished by patriarchal systems of power. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7:30pm – come down early to grab a good seat! \nFollow us on IG @seedtalks \nSpeaker Bio: \nDr Dorka Tamás is a researcher and teacher based at Royal Holloway\, University of London.She earned her PhD in English literature from the University of Exeter (2022) and herMaster’s degree from the University of Sussex (2018). Dorka is specialised in twentieth-century women’s poetry\, particularly Sylvia Plath\, the legacies of early modern witch-hunt inliterature\, and post-1945 American culture. She has spoken at the Sylvia Plath Literary Festival at Hebden Bridge (2022)\, at numerous academic conferences\, and at the Romancing the Gothic lecture series. She is the author of Sylvia Plath and the Supernatural\, published by Cambridge University Press (2026) and the editor of The New Sylvia Plath Studies\, forthcoming from Cambridge University Press. \nThis talk is 16+
