About This Item
London & New Haven: Yale University Press, 1990. First printing. Near fine in near fine jacket.. Inscribed first edition of this unlikely bestseller that made Paglia one of the most prominent and provocative cultural critics of the 1990s. Equally adept at deconstructing popular culture as the Western canon, what was (and is) often missed in the long-passed hype surrounding Paglia's anti-Puritanical approach to art and literature is just how original, well-written, and insightful (and not simply daring and controversial) it is - even as its essentialist underpinnings have increasingly fallen out of favor. As a university press edition, the first printing (most of which would have likely gone to libraries) is uncommon - and scarce signed. A still-important, challenging, and much-challenged work. 9'' x 6''. Publisher's original full blue cloth. In original unclipped (no price, as issued) color pictorial jacket. xvi; 718, [2] pages. Inscribed by Paglia on the front free endpaper: "For John - / Camille / Paglia." Book has faint foxing to edges. Jacket with touches of faint rubbing. Trace shelfwear. Overall, bright and sharp.
