And there was no time in history when the politics of fashion was more fraught than during the French Revolution. In the 1790s almost any article of clothing could be scrutinized for evidence of one's political affiliation. A waistcoat with seventeen buttons, for example, could be a sign of counterrevolution - a reference to Louis XVII - and earn its wearer a trip to the guillotine. In Dandyism in the Age of Revolution, Elizabeth Amann shows that in France, England, and Spain, daring dress became a way of taking a stance toward the social and political upheaval of the period. France is the centerpiece of the story, not just because of the significance of the Revolution but also because of the speed with which its politics and fashions shifted. Dandyism in France represented an attempt to recover a political center after the extremism of the Terror, while in England and Spain it offered a way to reflect upon the turmoil across the Channel and Pyrenees. From the Hair Powder Act, which required users of the product to purchase a permit, to the political implications of the feather in Yankee Doodle's hat, Amann aims to revise our understanding of the origins of modern dandyism and to recover the political context from which it emerged.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50346823385361,"sku":"CIN022618725XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/022618725X.jpg?v=1750693979"},{"product_id":"omnibus-book-elizabeth-amann-9783031187100","title":"The Omnibus","description":"The introduction of omnibus services in the late 1820s revolutionised urban life in Paris, London and many other cities. As the first form of mass transportation—in principle, they were ‘for everyone’—they offered large swaths of the population new ways of seeing both the urban space and one another. This study examines how the omnibus gave rise to a vast body of cultural representations that probed the unique social experience of urban transit. These representations took many forms—from stories, plays and poems to songs, caricatures and paintings—and include works by many well-known artists and authors such as Picasso and Pissarro and Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins and Guy de Maupassant. Analysing this corpus, the book explores how the omnibus and horse-drawn tram functioned in the cultural imagination of the nineteenth century and looks at the types of stories and values that were projected upon them. The study is comparative in approach and considers issues of gender, class andpolitics, as well as genre and narrative technique.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51386088030481,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51386089308433,"sku":"NGR9783031187100","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/3031187105.jpg?v=1751317416"},{"product_id":"omnibus-book-elizabeth-amann-9783031187070","title":"The Omnibus","description":"The introduction of omnibus services in the late 1820s revolutionised urban life in Paris, London and many other cities.

In addition to revolutionary movements in Europe and the United States, it deals with the international impact of the Haitian Revolution. The chapters in the book adopt transnational approaches to revolution to show how political uprisings often reverberated far beyond the borders of the states directly affected – in the form of narratives, metaphors, translations, letters, pamphlets and dialogues, as well as physical objects.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53083261436177,"sku":"NIN9781474481588","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781474481588.jpg?v=1772273354"},{"product_id":"reverberations-of-revolution-book-elizabeth-amann-9781474481595","title":"Reverberations of Revolution","description":"A broad, comparative and trans-Atlantic approach to the Age of Revolution","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53491813318929,"sku":"NIN9781474481595","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781474481595.jpg?v=1777765555"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-elizabeth-amann.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
