Description
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. In this virtuosic work of criticism, Hardwick dissects the history of women and literature, exploring the lives of women writers and their relationships with their families and partners. With fierce empathy and biting wit, Hardwick probes the costs of sex, love, and marriage, asking who is the seducer and who the seduced; who the victim and who the victor. This groundbreaking collection shatters the barrier between writing and life, offering a profound reckoning of the conventions of the essay. First published in 1974, Seduction and Betrayal remains both urgently timely and timeless, exploding the conventions of the essay and delivering a powerful exploration of the complex relationships between women, literature, and the human experience.
