# Event Details - **Event Name**: An Exploration of Sylvia Plath, Poetry and Witchcraft - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 27 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 27 Apr, 2026 at 09:30 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: Explore the politics of the witch trials and powerful witch imagery in Sylvia Plath’s poetry. Followed by Q&A.About this EventSylvia 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. In 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. Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7:30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!Follow us on IG @seedtalksSpeaker Bio:Dr Dorka Tamás is a researcher and teacher based at Royal Holloway, University of London.
