Description
The French poet Stephane Mallarme's 1874 fashion magazine, La Derniere Mode, is a fascinating and enigmatic work that defies easy categorization. Written under various pseudonyms, it explores the concept of fashion from a unique perspective, blending theory with practical advice on women's clothing, home furnishings, and entertainment.
The translators' commentary provides valuable context and insight into Mallarme's intentions, helping to clarify the magazine's significance and purpose. With its original artwork and contextualizing introduction, this translation offers a major contribution to our understanding of French literature's greatest puzzles and surprises.
