Much has changed since Camille Paglia first burst onto the scene with her groundbreaking Sexual Personae, but the laser-sharp insights of this major American thinker continue to be ahead of the curve - not only capturing the tone of the moment but also often anticipating it.

Opening with a blazing manifesto of an introduction in which Paglia outlines the bedrock beliefs that inform her writing - freedom of speech, the necessity of fearless inquiry, and a deep respect for all art, both erudite and popular - Provocations gathers together a rich, varied body of work spanning twenty-five years, illuminating everything from the Odyssey to the Oscars, from punk rock to presidents past and present.

Whatever your political inclination or literary and artistic touchstones, Paglia's takes are compulsively readable, thought provoking, galvanizing, and an essential part of our cultural dialogue, invariably giving voice to what most needs to be said.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Camille Paglia

Camille Paglia nasceu em Endicott, Nova Iorque, em 1947, no seio de uma família ítalo-americana. Estudou em Yale e é professora de humanidades, estudos clássicos, arte e comunicação em Filadélfia e em Nova Iorque. A sua popularidade deve-se não só aos artigos vibrantes e polémicos que escreveu sobre feminismo, questões de género e cultura pop, mas também a obras de grande erudição como Sexual Personae ou Glittering Images.
