About this production

Product Information

• Hither is the fiery, provocative, and unparalleled work of feminist art criticism that launched Camille Paglia's exceptional career as ane of our most important public intellectuals. Is Emily Dickinson "the female person Sade"? Is Donatello'due south David a flake of pedophile pornography? What is the cloak-and-dagger kinship between Byron and Elvis Presley, between Medusa and Madonna? How do liberals and feminists--besides as conservatives--fatally misread human nature? This adventurous and omnivorously learned piece of work of guerrilla scholarship offers naught less than a unified-field theory of Western civilization, high and depression, since Egyptians invented dazzler--making a persuasive instance for all fine art as a pagan battlefield betwixt male and female, grade and chaos, civilization and daemonic nature. 47 photographs.
