Acclaimed dress historian and Austen expert Hilary Davidson reveals, for the first time, the wardrobe of one of the world’s most celebrated authors. Despite her acknowledged brilliance on the page, Jane Austen has all too often been accused of dowdiness in her appearance. Drawing on Austen’s 161 known letters, as well as her own surviving garments and accessories, this book assembles examples of the variety of clothes she would have possessed—from gowns and coats to shoes and undergarments—to tell a very different story. The Jane Austen that Hilary Davidson discovers is alert to fashion trends but thrifty and eager to reuse and repurpose clothing. Her renowned irony and wit pepper her letters, which describe clothes, shopping, and taste. Jane Austen’s Wardrobe offers the rare pleasure of a glimpse inside the closet of a stylish dresser and perpetually fascinating writer.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 256mmItem Length: 191mmAuthor: Hilary DavidsonGenre: Fashion & DesignTopic: Society & Culture, Gender Sex & Relationships, History, BiographyType: CommercialRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
