Abstract

In The Letters of Sylvia Plath, Volume II is a May 3, 1960 letter to writer Janet Burroway from Plath, inviting Janet and her Indian friend “Zulfi” to a spaghetti dinner at their Chalcot Square flat in London on Saturday, May 7, 1960.


A London friend of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, Zulfikar Ghose was part of “the Group,” which started with undergraduate poets at Cambridge University and officially moved to London in 1955. Outside the Group, there were many nights drinking pints and talking literature at The Lamb off Rugby Street, across the street from Hughes’s flat.
