Description 1 online resource (xvii, 352 pages : illustrations Summary Studies of fashion and literature in recent decades have focused primarily on representations of clothing and dress within literary texts. But what about the author? How did he dress? What where her shopping practices and predilections? What were his alliances with modishness, stylishness, fashion? The essays in this book explore these and other questions as they look at authors from the eighteenth century through the postmodern and digital eras, cultural producers who were also men and women of fashion: Alexander Pope, Hester Thrale, Mary Robinson, Lord Byron, William Thackeray, Charlotte Bronte, Wilkie Collins, Margaret Oliphant, Virginia Woolf, Rebecca West, Trudi Kanter, Angela Carter, and Martin Margiela. The essays collected here ultimately converge upon a fundamental question: what happens to our notions of timeless literature when authorship itself is implicated in the transient and the temporary, the cycles and materials of fashion? -- Provided by publisher Notes Includes index Print version record Subject Fashion in literature -- History -- 18th century Authors -- Clothing -- History -- 18th century Authorship -- History -- 18th century Fashion in literature -- History -- 19th century Authors -- Clothing -- History -- 19th century Authorship -- History -- 19th century Fashion in literature -- History -- 20th century Authors -- Clothing -- History -- 20th century Authorship -- History -- 20th century Fashion in literature -- History -- 21st century Authors -- Clothing -- History -- 21st century Authorship -- History -- 21st century Authorship Fashion Fashion in literature Genre/Form History Form Electronic book Author Egan, Gerald, editor.
