Dress, Distress and Desire: Clothing and the Female Body in Eighteenth-Century Literature
J. Batchelor
Dress, Distress and Desire explores representations of sartorial experience in eighteenth-century literature. It shows how dress dispelled the sentimental myth that the body acted as a moral index and enabled the women reader to resist some of sentimental literature's more prescriptive advice.
