商品簡介
In Victorian England, the image of the professional seamstress provided social reformers with a powerful image of working-class suffering. In this text, Alexander (English, U. of Tennessee at Martin) traces the development of the symbol of the seamstress through a variety of representations. Her analysis encompasses the work of writers such as Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna as well as visual artists such as Richard Redgrave, John Everett Millais, and Hubert von Herkomer.
