The Medusa Reader

Portada
Marjorie B. Garber, Nancy J. Vickers
Routledge, 2003 - 310 pàgines
Fascinating and terrifying, the Medusa story has long been a powerful signifier in culture with poets, feminists, anthropologists, psychoanalysts, political theorists, artists, writers, and others. Bringing together essential passages and commentary about Medusa, this book traces her through the ages, from classical times through the Renaissance to the pop culture, art, and fashion of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. This collection, with a critical introduction and striking illustrations, is a major anthology of primary material and critical commentary on this most provocative and enigmatic of figures.
