Overview
Overview
Jane Austen's Wardrobe delves into the clothing of Jane Austen (1775-1817) and its wider contexts, based on the 161 surviving letters of one of the world's great authors. Each mention of a garment from her wardrobe in the letters is presented and explored with images and further research to show how it might have looked, when Austen would have worn it, and how it sits within the wider picture of Regency dress history, society and culture. Looking at the specific caps, bonnets, gowns, pelisses, shoes, nightgowns and handkerchiefs this perpetually fascinating woman actually owned helps to understand her material world, and give a focussed insight into clothing as a crucial aspect of her life and times. The book expands upon and complements the author's previous critically acclaimed publication Dress in the Age of Jane Austen: Regency Fashion (Yale University Press, 2019).
