Seduction and Betrayal
Book (italiano):
The novelist and essayist Elizabeth Hardwick is one of contemporary America's most brilliant writers, and <i>Seduction and Betrayal</i>, in which she considers the careers of women writers as well as the larger question of the presence of women in literature, is her most passionate and concentrated work of criticism. A gallery of unforgettable portraits--of Virginia Woolf and Zelda Fitzgerald, Dorothy Wordsworth and Jane Carlyle--as well as a provocative reading of such works as <i>Wuthering Heights, Hedda Gabler</i>, and the poems of Sylvia Plath, <i>Seduction and Betrayal</i> is a virtuoso performance, a major writer's reckoning with the relations between men and women, women and writing, writing and life.
