Elizabeth Hardwick and Robert Lowell (ed. Saskia Hamilton)
Recommendations from our site
“The whole saga of The Dolphin Letters and their friends’ reactions to it—Lowell and Hardwick’s circle included Mary McCarthy, Adrienne Rich, Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, Hannah Arendt, to name just a few—is just fascinating (even if you’ve never read any of these writers, but especially if you have). This book is long-awaited, and most definitely worth the wait. Essential for any serious literary reader.” Read more...
