Book Description
Rhonda Wilcox, (an editor of Slayage: the online journal) presents an argument for Buffy as an art form as worthy of respect and acknowledgment as film or literature. She highlights depth of characters and symbolism in the show.
The start of the book deals with everything from the significance of the characters' names in relation to their identities to parallels between Buffy and the Harry Potter saga, while the last half of the book offers analyses of seven of Buffy's episodes. ("Surprise", "Innocence", "The Zeppo", "Hush", "Restless", "The Body", and "Once More, with Feeling".)

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or description:
“I haven’t read one book about
A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
“A sound mind in a sound body, is a short, but full description of a happy state in this World: he that has these two, has little more to wish for; and he that wants either of them, will be little the better for anything else.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
