Summary note
"The way we dress says a lot about us. The importance of dress is impressed upon us as children, and reinforced by the culture surrounding us. Our dress speaks of the culture and era we come from and our social status within that culture. Our political views, religious beliefs, sexuality and countless other identifying traits can be hidden or revealed to the world by the choice of what to wear. This was absolutely true, famously so, in the Victorian era in which men and women alike wore their status and their subjectivity on their lavishly embellished sleeves. Dr. Madeleine Seys explores Victorian literary culture through the lens of fashion in her new book, Fashion and Narrative in Victorian Popular Literature: Double Threads, which sits at the intersection of the fields of Victorian literary studies, dress and material cultural studies, feminist literary criticism, and gender and sexuality studies" -- Provided by publisher.
