* TroubledProduction: Knowing the depictions of real people (including her own mother) would be easily recognizable to those who knew her, Plath did not want ''The Bell Jar'' published in the U.S. until after her mother's death. Since Plath died shortly after the UK publication, her American publishers considered this Plath's LastRequest and were prepared to uphold it. However, due to a loophole in international copyright law, the delay in American publication caused the book to fall into public domain in the States and another publisher, seeing renewed interest in Plath after her death, prepared to publish an unauthorized edition. Seeing that the book would go forward regardless, Plath's publisher moved forward to publish the book in 1971, eight years after its UK publication. Plath's mother Aurelia ultimately died in 1994.
