Beauty
“Beauty” was published in Vogue magazine in 1975. Sontag tells the history of “beauty” which was defined as generally excellence but which has often been used to characterize female appearance.
Susan Sontag (1933-2004)
She is a leading commentator on modern culture, whose innovative essays on such diverse subjects as camp, pornographic literature, fascist aesthetics, photography, AIDS, and revolution gained a wide attention.
Career
As a novelist Sontag started her career at the age of 30 with THE BENEFACTOR. The heavily symbolic work was partly a pastiche of the 19th-century Bildungsroman, a novel about the formation of character.
At the age of seventeen Sontag married in her sophomore year the 28-year-old Philip Rieff, a sociology instructor; they divorced in the late 1950s. With Rieff Sontag moved to Boston and continued her studies at Harvard, where she was a Ph.D. candidate from 19551957. Sontag died in New York City on 28 December 2004, aged 71.
