bobbygw's insight:
For those interested in buying this collection, please note that "collected" does not mean "complete" - far from it. The same publisher for this, NYRB, publishes a separate volume of Hardwick's (also brilliant, as is all of her work), called 'Seduction and Betrayal: Women and Literature' from which there is absolutely nothing whatsoever republished in this Collected Essays. "Collected" is, I think, deliberately deceiving of NYRB to would-be book buyers. It should really be called 'Selected Essays'.
Meanwhile, I highly recommend buying 'Seduction' - it's a supremely accomplished series of essay-deep reflections on great women writers.
