The Swarm (1962) by Sylvia Plath | Analysis & Commentary
Welcome to Ear Read This! I’m Ash, and on this channel I combine in-depth literary analysis with casual book reviews and discussion of a wide range of texts from Ovid to Sylvia Plath. Along with detailed episodes of the ERT podcast you’ll find reading updates, reactions to bookish news and my daily Poem of the Day series. Special areas of interest include Plath, Scottish (and in particular, Edinburgh) literature, Shakespeare and bird books.
S3E90 Ash is joined again by Peter K. Steinberg to discuss Sylvia Plath's late poem 'The Swarm'. Tune in to hear about Plath's interest in Napoleon, her experiences bee-keeping and Peter's theory that The Swarm may contain coded references to Assia Wevill.
