Buffy Meets the Academy - Essays on the Episodes and Scripts as Texts (Paperback)

This book presents serious academic scholarship on ""Buffy the Vampire Slayer"". It differs from other works because it uses ""Buffy"" as a primary text and not as a secondary instrument to explore other concepts. In doing so, it demonstrates that popular culture studies should be approached with the same serious attention paid to classic philosophy and other long-established fields. Essays assemble the ""Buffy"" canon and explore how ""Buffy"" treats Shakespeare, comics, power, sisterhood, apocalyptic revisionism, folklore, feminism(s), redemption, patriarchy, identity and education.
