Born in Kentucky, Elizabeth Hardwick boarded a Greyhound bus for New York City in 1939 and quickly made a name for herself as a formidable member of the intellectual elite. Her eventful life included stretches of dire poverty; lasting friendships with literary luminaries (among them, Mary McCarthy); dustups with authors she eviscerated in the New York Review of Books (of which she was a cofounder); and marriage to the poet Robert Lowell-whom she adored, standing by faithfully through his episodes of bipolar illness. Lowell's decision to publish excerpts from her private letters in The Dolphin greatly distressed Hardwick and ignited a major literary controversy. Hardwick imbued her essays with a novelistic flair and a wholly original outlook. In A Splendid Intelligence, biographer Cathy Curtis offers an intimate portrait of an exceptional woman who emerged from a long, turbulent marriage with the clarity and wisdom that illuminate her brilliant work"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Hardwick, Elizabeth. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 5 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117024758.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013108.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220217011216.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220202015033.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211111010741.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10A77FF842BD11ECB803261622ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
