Description
In nineteenth-century Europe and the United States, fashion-once the province of the well-to-do-began to make its way across class lines. Fashioning the Nineteenth Century shows how certain items of apparel acquired the status of fashion and how fashion shifted from the realm of the elites into the emerging middle and working classes-and back.

Reviews"A thought-provoking volume that offers key insights into the interconnections among culture, literature, and fashion."-CHOICE "Fashioning the Nineteenth Century proves to be a remarkable instrument to refine our knowledge of narrative worlds whose territories are inhabited also by fashion as part of the common humanistic heritage."-Fashion Theory
