But unlike the twenty-first-century hipster, the dandies of the British past provoked intense degrees of fascination and horror in their homeland and played an important role in British society from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. 0This book - illustrated with contemporary prints, portraits and caricatures - explores that social and cultural history through a focus on the macaroni, the dandy and the aesthete. The first was noted for his flamboyance, the second for his austere perfectionism and the third for his sexual perversity. All were highly controversial in their time, pioneering new ways of displaying and performing gender, as demonstrated by the impact of key figures such as Lord Hervey, George 'Beau' Brummell and Oscar Wilde. 0This groundbreaking study tells the scandalous story of fashionable men and their clothes as a reflection of changing attitudes not only to style but also to gender and sexuality"--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Dandies $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Fashion $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Men $z Great Britain $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Men's clothing $z Great Britain $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20221203065844.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=72C46E700CA811EDB1735DF129ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
