At the Mercy of Their Clothes: Modernism, the Middlebrow, and British Garment Culture by Celia Marshik
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 10.5MB
Overview: In much of modern fiction, it is the clothes that make the character. Garments embody personal and national histories. They convey wealth, status, aspiration, and morality (or a lack thereof). They suggest where characters have been and where they might be headed, as well as whether or not they are aware of their fate. At the Mercy of Their Clothes explores the agency of fashion in modern literature, its reflection of new relations between people and things, and its embodiment of a rapidly changing society confronted by war and cultural and economic upheaval. In some cases, people need garments to realize themselves. In other cases, the clothes control the person who wears them.
Genre: Non-Fiction, Literary Criticism, Modernism
