Trace elements of previous re-visionings are present in this most recent non-fictional adaptation of Plath's journal entry, the introduction to Andrew Wilson's Mad Girl's Love Song. There, Wilson juxtaposes quotations from Plath's journal entry with lines from 'St. Botolph's' to create a biographical palimpsest. Like Emma Tennant's 'The Meeting', Wilson's text does not exist in 'direct relationship' to Plath's journals, its 'original source'; rather, it bears traces of a culmulative hypotext in which Hughes's previous adaptations plays an important part.
