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

5.0

this is a pretty comprehensive survey of wastern art and its portrayal of MAsculine(calculated, hard edged, methdical, protruding) characteristics and its counterpart ( of nature, soft, swamp-like, consuming) most of the interesting characters in literature are a combination of both, which the author calls Androgim repeatedly. the interesting concept that the feminein will consume one and take one back to nature if not for the aggressive masculine forces is very interesting. nature vs culture is a repeted theme here.
