The thirty-five pieces that Alex Andriesse has gathered here--none previously featured in volumes of Hardwick's work--make it clear that her powers extended far beyond literary criticism, encompassing a vast range of subjects, from New York City to Faye Dunaway, from Wagner's \u003ci\u003eParsifal \u003c\/i\u003eto Leonardo da Vinci's inventions, and from the pleasures of summertime to grits soufflé. In these often surprising, always well-wrought essays, we see Hardwick's passion for people and places, her politics, her thoughts on feminism, and her ability, especially from the 1970s on, to write well about seemingly anything.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardwick, Elizabeth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/24\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681376233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.87h x 4.96w x 0.71d","brand":"Elizabeth Hardwick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39794859507787,"sku":"9781681376233","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0021\/1697\/6715\/products\/img_eb735f45-e61e-4dd4-bdfc-2c8ebff6e7e6.jpg?v=1656447590","url":"https:\/\/blackbookstore.com\/products\/the-uncollected-essays-of-elizabeth-hardwick-9781681376233","provider":"Black Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
