Durand, Kevin Buffy Meets the Academy (0786443553)
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.
