Pop Studies

An ode to the great pop culture monuments of the 20th century, by the legendary critic Camille Paglia.

The singular and iconoclastic critic delivers a significant new book—an ode to and brilliant examination of some of the great pop culture monuments of the 20th century and beyond. From Gone with the Wind to The Godfather; Frank Sinatra to the Beatles versus the Rolling Stones; Perry Mason to soap operas, here is the inimitable Paglia voice weighing in with incisive, witty insights that have made her such a cult figure. The New York Times calls Paglia “a fearless public intellectual and more necessary than ever,” and this book resoundingly affirms that judgment.
