Böcker av Joseph Campana

In Joseph Campana's debut collection, starring Audrey Hepburn, icons of public consumption speak in the language of private devotion. Encourage emulation. Inspire idolatry. Be a muse, be a nymph, be a sprite, bewitch me. Rise from obscurity. Set trends. Break habits. Make statements. Count blessings. Distribute kindnesses. Arouse devotion. Devote yourself to nobility. Ascend, ascend, ascend.-from "How to Be a Star"

The Pain of Reformation argues that Edmund Spenser's 1590 Faerie Queene examines emerging notions of vulnerability in Renaissance England. This book approaches sensation through the aesthetics of the vulnerable body, explores the emergence of notions of shared vulnerability, and illuminates a constellation of masculinity, sexuality, and ethics in post-Reformation England.
