"A great book to argue over. If you and a friend read it at the same time, you'll have great, outraged conversations over wine and make everyone else read it too.
Deliberately provocative, with enough sense to make the rubbish troubling."
"Sexual Personae was a bombshell of guerilla scholarship released in the 1990s, and it made its author - Camille Paglia - a star and media darling during that time. The scope of the book is breathtaking. Paglia begins by summarizing Freud's theory on the invention of religion in pre-history, then goes on to track the human agon of art v. nature from the time of the ancient Egyptians to the nineteen hundreds.
Paglia sees two archetypal forces at work in literature and art: The Appolonian (concerned with form, discipline, and ethical rigor) and the Dionysian (celebratory of life, mortality, sex, and the imagination).
The book is outrageous in parts, practically unreadable in others, and downright brilliant in enough places to guarantee a place beside other important works of popular scholarship. Paglia is a dynamo!"
