Sexual Personae: Art and Decadence from Nefertiti to Emily Dickinson by Camille Paglia

4.0

I read the last chapter, on Emly Dickinson, first, as part of my book group discussion of Dickinson's poetry. Then I read the chapters on other authors I have read, then the rest of the book. It ranged from 3 to 5 stars, but I give it at lest 4.25 overall. Paglia is opinionated, amusing, and often thought-provoking. This perspective on literature would have been useful when I was in school - which unfortunately predates her book.
