Passionate Lives: D. H. Lawrence, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry Miller, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath...in Love - Softcover
Synopsis
D.H. Lawrence, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry Miller, Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath-these five great writers lived lives of passionate intensity, and John Tytell shows how their own love affairs influences their writing. He also describes how they became models for what we perceive artists to be: romantics whose intense and troubled lives carried them beyond the norm.

From Library Journal
D.H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Dylan Thomas, and Sylvia Plath were literary geniuses of the first order, yet the reader comes away from this well-written account of their personal lives amazed that they ever had the time to put pen to paper. Each chose for a mate the personality most likely to prove emotionally disastrous; each married their "perfect love," only to find that their romanticism destroyed any possibility of a realistic relationship. Their lives consisted of enough material for a hundred novels: alcoholism, adultery, insanity, poverty, spouse beating (it wasn't always the woman who suffered physical abuse), suicide, desertion, and a compelling passion for the beloved urged the writers on to great creativity and even greater agony. Tytell has written a fascinating study that will both educate and titillate the American literature student and the general reader. Recommended.
