Synopsis

'Fashioning the Self: Identity and Style in British Culture' offers an eclectic approach to contemporary fashion studies.


Taking a broad definition of British culture, this collection of essays explores the significance of style to issues such as colonialism, race, gender and class, embracing topics as diverse as eighteenth-century portraiture, literary dress culture and Edwardian working-class glamour. Examining the emblematic power of garments themselves and the context in which they are styled, this work interrogates the ways that personal style can itself decontextualize garments to radically reframe their meanings. Using an intentionally eclectic range of subjects from an interdisciplinary perspective, this collection builds on the work of theorists such as Aileen Ribeiro, Vika Martina Plock, Cheryl Buckley and Hilary Fawcett, to examine the social significance of personal style, while also highlighting the diversity of British culture itself.

À propos de l'auteur

Emily Priscott is a social historian and writer. She completed her doctorate in Contemporary History at the University of Sussex in 2019, where she specialized in late-20th-century Gender History. Her thesis formed the basis for her first book, 'Singleness in Britain, 1960-1990: Identity, Gender and Social Change', which was published in 2020 by Vernon Press. Her most recent work focuses on the relationship between fashion, singleness and interwar literary culture, which she built on as the inspiration for this collection - an eclectic volume exploring the relationship between style and identity in British culture.
