Focusing on artist and writer couples who have shared both sexual and creative bonds, 13 of today's leading critics and historians challenge and redefine conventional assumptions about creativity in this series of highly original essays. Among those examined are Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Lillian Hellman and Dashiell Hammett, Virginia Woolf and Vita Sackville-West, and Anais Nin and Henry Miller. 76 illustrations.
