Index
The definitive overview of hair in the Age of Empire, this ground-breaking scholarly work presents over a hundred years of hair in culture and examines diverse topics such as gender, ethnicity, morality, status, hygiene, eroticism, and belief.
Sarah Heaton is Head of English at the University of Chester, UK.
A thick, tangled and deliciously idiosyncratic history of hair ...
There is plenty to inform and intrigue.
*Times Literary Supplement*
An excellent contribution to this very significant period in the
story of hair, this book offers specific insights from a range of
disciplines and authors. The chapters manage to weave into each
other to demonstrate the ways in which hair and our contemporary
modes of understanding it are embedded in the fascinating period of
change that is the Age of Empire.
