ONE OF THE WHITE REVIEW''S BEST BOOKS OF 2019
Elizabeth Hardwick''s iconic essay collection Seduction and Betrayal is a radical portrait of women and literature, reissued with a new introduction by Deborah Levy.
''Hardwick''s sentences are burned in my brain.'' - Susan Sontag
Sidelined. Betrayed. Killed off. Elizabeth Hardwick dissects the history of women and literature.
In her most virtuoso work of criticism, she explores the lives of the Brontës, Woolf, Eliot and Plath; the fate of literary wives such as Zelda Fitzgerald and Jane Carlyle; and the destinies of fictional heroines from Richardson''s Clarissa to Ibsen''s Nora. With fierce empathy and biting wit, Hardwick mines their childhoods, families, and personalities to probe the costs of sex, love, and marriage. Shattering the barrier between writing and life, she asks who is the seducer and who the seduced; who the victim and who the victor.
First published in 1974, yet both urgently timely and timeless, Seduction and Betrayal explodes the conventions of the essay: and the result is nothing less than a reckoning.
