DescriptionPdf / English / 1990 / 718 pages / 109 MB "Sexual Personae is an erotic history of Western literature and visual art; written in a style both erotic and aggressive, it's the sort of criticism Sontag prophesied but didn't produce. Surely the time is right for such a book It's witty, pointed, aphoristic, swift and usually attractively aware of its own status as hyper civilized artifice—Paglia's first objective is provocation: She's out to seduce or inspire—At her epigrammatic best, [she] relays her pleasure in perception and discovery, relays her remarkable energy of mind splendid and exhilarating. . . a brilliant book." — The Nation Sharing Widget |
