Published to accompany the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute exhibition, this volume explores the etymology and evolution of camp as a distinct aesthetic sensibility. Andrew Bolton examines how camp functions as a mode of expression, tracing its influence from the seventeenth century to contemporary high fashion through a rigorous analysis of irony, humor, and artifice.
