Rosy Aindow

Dress and Identity in British Literary Culture, 1870-1914 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Rosy Aindow's interdisciplinary study maps the literary response to the emergence of a modern fashion industry in late nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century Britain. The study argues dress is given a distinctive voice in novels of the period; works that embrace older sartorial tropes, but which simultaneously shape and formulate their own reflecting contemporary social concerns.
