Question

Under what pseudonym was 'The Bell Jar' initially published?

• A. Victoria Lucas
• B. Valerie Taylor
• C. Elizabeth Jane Howard
• D. Marion Zimmer Bradley

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Victoria Lucas

Sylvia Plath's novel, 'The Bell Jar,' was initially published under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas in 1963. Plath chose to publish the novel under a pseudonym to distance herself from the autobiographical elements of the story and to protect her personal life. Despite being published under a pseudonym, 'The Bell Jar' has since become a modern classic and is widely studied in literature courses.
