Background on the Autobiography of Malcolm X While autobiographies must necessarily be written while the author is alive, they are most often retrospective, providing the reader with a personalized view of some significant period in the author’s life. A real-time, unedited version of the author’s life is described as a journal. Biographies, on the other hand, may be written either during their subjects’ lives or after a subject has died. The biographical form allows an author a greater degree of objectivity on the life of the subject. An “as told to” autobiography provides the reader with the subject’s version of the truth of his or her life while the arduous task of writing is left to a professional writer.

Despite the collection of poems being published under the guidance of her husband and poet Ted Hughes, Plath had outlined an arrangement prior to her death which is where the main debate regarding the authoritative edition of Ariel arises. The two versions, whilst containing a similar selection of poems in a similar order, result in different expressive functions. Perloff argued that “Plath’s arrangement emphasizes, not death, but struggle and revenge, the outrage that follows the recognition that the beloved is also the betrayer, that the shrine at which one worships is also the tomb”[1] whereas Hughes’ Ariel arrangement has been seen as his attempt to make the text less personally aggressive to himself[2] by his critics and simply as protective of those the more lacerating poems were aimed at as well as including stronger poems[3] by his supporters. The difference in reactions to the two versions of Ariel suggests that each version’s authorial intention differs despite supposedly being the same text.
