The Study of Dress History by Lou Taylor In recent years, the study of dress history has gained significant academic recognition. This comprehensive guide explores the various approaches now being adopted in the field, drawing on disciplines such as material culture, ethnography, and cultural studies. By examining these new methods, this book raises important questions about the history of dress, including the role of gender and subject divides that have previously divided the field. A thorough and engaging analysis, this volume will become a benchmark for understanding the study of dress history. With its fresh perspective and rigorous approach, The Study of Dress History is an essential resource for anyone interested in the social and cultural significance of clothing.
