商品簡介
Fashion sense began early in English literature; the inaugural essay is on transgressive disrobing and disarming in Beowulf. From there the contributing British and American literary scholars travel forward through time, viewing such examples as class and gender in Twelfth Night, transvestism and hybridity in Jane Eyre, money and romance in The House of Mirth and Sister Carrie, Toni Morrion's Jazz, and sartorial culture in Oryx and Crake.
