Dandyism in the Age of Revolution by Elizabeth Amann
From the color of a politician's tie, to exorbitantly costly haircuts, to the size of an American flag pin adorning a lapel, it's no secret that style has political meaning. The author 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.
"Dandyism in the Age of Revolution sweeps aside received notions of the dandy as a disengaged fop to recover the figure's political and politicized originsWell researched and historiographically informed, this book is leavened with the sort of wordplay that dandies themselves would have appreciated." (Laura Mason, Johns Hopkins University)"
Elizabeth Amann is professor in the Department of Literary Studies at Ghent University, Belgium. She is the author of Importing Madame Bovary: The Politics of Adultery.
