Notes on "Camp"

"Notes on 'Camp'" is a 1964 essay by Susan Sontag that brought the aesthetic sensibility known as "camp" to mainstream consciousness.

The essay was included in The Best of Essays of the Century (2000) co-edited by Robert Atwan with an Introduction by editor Joyce Carol Oates. Oates characterizes "On Camp" as "both opinion essay and cultural criticism of a high order."
