Edited by Jenny Newman, this rich anthology chronicles the seducer and the seduced through an extraordinary range of voices, drawing from poetry, prose, and drama to present a kaleidoscopic portrait of desire in all its guises, from the tender to the ruthless, the comic to the tragic.\n\nNewman's curation demonstrates a masterful editorial intelligence, assembling works that collectively argue for seduction as one of literature's great organising forces — a prism through which writers illuminate power, vulnerability, and the endlessly negotiated boundaries of the self. The selections span literary traditions and historical periods, making this volume as much a tour through the canon as it is a meditation on the erotic imagination. Readers who believe they know the territory of desire will find themselves perpetually surprised by what lies around the next page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130960814299,"sku":"2026200012541-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7c06d717-5a3e-46c7-a85d-129a016c5401.png?v=1786593166","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200012541-secondhand-the-faber-book-of-seductions","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
