Outward Appearances : The Female Exterior in Restoration London Hardback
by Will Pritchard
Part of the Bucknell Studies in Eighteenth Century Literature and Culture series
Hardback
Description
This book elucidates early modern attitudes toward women's public display.
It is a cultural study that draws on a wide range of literary and non-literary texts from 1650-1700 to revisit the sites where women appeared most prominently: the playhouse, the park, and the New Exchange (a shopping arcade in the Strand).
An academic study, Outward Appearances is written in a clear and engaging style.
It is aimed particularly at literary scholars, but historians will take a keen interest in it as well.
It offers a fresh context for the study of Restoration drama and a provocative argument about women and public space.
