'A private holy spirit in small letters' : Sylvia Plath’s Secular-Age Religion Ooms, Julie 2021 Renascence , Vol. 73 , Issue 3 , S. 171 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0034-4346 | 2329-8626 10.5840/renascence202173314 Abstract
Scholars regularly read Sylvia Plath biographically, but few have focused on her religious beliefs and their manifestation in her work. This essay explores Plath’s ideas about religion, and about Christianity in particular, as they are articulated in college papers, in her journals, and in her fiction. It argues, finally, that Plath’s wrestling with Christian religious ideas is that of the kind of “cross-pressured” believer characterized by Charles Taylor; she is a humanist atheist tempted by belief.
