Item Camille Paglia Letter to President Murphy(Bennington College, 1979-11-10) Paglia, CamilleItem Elizabeth Davis and the Library's Exhibit "Matriarchy: The Golden Age"(1974-11-14) Paglia, Camille"The latest galley, with its support of Elizabeth Davis' The First Sex by a quotation from Robert Graves, has simply piled one absurdity upon another. Robert Graves i s one of the most notorious misreaders of poetry of the twentieth century. His widely reproduced collection of Greek myths, for example, is infamous among classicists for its unscrupulous mingling of fictive invention with accurate scholarly detail, so that it actually is completelv useless as a reference work. His The White Goddess has many wonderful passages, but is filled with unreadable linguistic meanderings in Welsch a language about which Graves blithely admits he knows absolutely nothing! This is a work not of scholarship but of a consciously self-referential personal poet ic mythology" No Bennington feminist could continue to cite Graves as an authority once she has assimilated his outrageous assertion in The White Goddess t hat no woman can be a true poet: "Woman is not a poet: she is either a Muse or she is nothing" (p . 446)􀀑"Item Elizabeth Davis and the Library's Exhibit "Matriarchy: The Golden Age" (1974-11-11) Tristman, Richard; Paglia, Camille; Salamon, Linda; Kirkpatrick, Joanna"The Crossett Library's current lobby-exhibit, "Matriarchy: The Golden Age," is a collection of archaeological and anthropological falsifications which do not deserve the recommendation of display in an academic library - The material for the exhibit--photographs of ancient artifacts and captions tLat purport to explain them--appears to be drawn from the confabulations of Elizabeth Davis's muddled, ignorant, perhaps out-and-out fraudulent book, The First Sex, whose "learning" and methods have been roundly discredited by every scholar who has condescended to review it."Item Letter from Camile Paglia to Gail Thain Parker(Bennington College, 1973-09-27) Paglia, Camille; Parker, Gail ThainItem Letter from Camile Paglia to President Joseph Murphy(Bennington College, 1978-08-25) Paglia, Camille"I have spent six extremely satisfying years at Bennington, and I know that by moving into a more research-oriented environment I will be sacrificing the close contact with students which Bennington fosters....I have no doubt that this congenial situation at Bennington has added immeasurable to my personal and intellectual growth, and this is a debt which I look forward to acknowledging in the book itself."Item Letter from Camille Paglia to Bernard Malamud(Bennington College, 1977-03-28) Paglia, CamilleItem Letter from Camille Paglia to Bernard Malamud(Bennington College, 1976-10-03) Paglia, CamilleItem Letter from Camille Paglia to Bernard Malamud(Bennington College, 1976-06-01) Paglia, CamilleItem Letter from Camille Paglia to Gail Thain Parker(Bennington College, 1974-06-02) Paglia, CamilleItem Letter from Camille Paglia to Gail Thain Parker(Bennington College, 1974-01-03) Paglia, CamilleItem Letter from Gail Thain Parker to Camille Paglia(Bennington College, 1973-12-12) Parker, Gail Thain; Paglia, CamilleItem THIS //// is OUR Strategy(Bennington College, 1976-05-22) Dixon, Bill; Tristman, Richard; Paglia, Camille; Agard, Robert
