by Clair Hughes (Author)
Traces the deployment of dress in fictional texts of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, from "Roxana" to "Middlemarch", and "The House of Mirth". A study of the history of clothing, this book explores the growth of the middle classes and the association of luxury with vice, and the reasons why wedding dresses rarely ever symbolize happiness.
