Product Description

 
From ancient Egypt through the nineteenth century, Sexual Personae explores the provocative connections between art and pagan ritual; between Emily Dickinson and the Marquis de Sade; between Lord Byron and Elvis Presley. It ultimately challenges the cultural assumptions of both conservatives and traditional liberals. 47 photographs.

Chthonia and catharsis

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2004
The Bottom Line: Paglia's limelight seems to have faded - which isn't necessarily bad, since now we can look at this book with an objective eye, concluding that it's not bad!
Review: Dear Camille and I go way back. I should clarify by saying I've never met her, and I don't intend to.

But her personality is on incredible display in "Sexual Personae", and even more so, the brilliance of the theory that underlies all her...

A Decadent, Heavy Read

Date of Review:  Oct 27, 2005
The Bottom Line: Challenging and invigorating, it's a worthwhile, if difficult trek. Paglia may make readers uncomfortable at times, but she stimulates, provokes, and endears.
