The author explores the entangled meanings of writing and hunger in our culture, from Sylvia Pankhurst to Jane Fonda. Central to her discussion is a striking comparison between the Irish Hunger Strike of 1981 and the plot of Richardson's "Clarissa", in which the heroine starves herself to death after being raped. Ellmann reaches beyond fashionable preoccupation with the body to the terrifying logic of disembodiment.
