About this product
Product Information
Draws a correlation between the American fashion industry and early twentieth-century literature. As American fashion diverged from a class-conscious industry governed by Parisian designers to become more commercial and democratic, Lauren S. Cardon argues, fashion designers and journalists began appropriating the same themes of self-transformation to market new fashion trends.

Reviews
Cardon reads fashion and selffashioning in fiction alongside the history of the US fashion industry. In doing so, she charts a progressive narrative of the democratization of fashion over the course of the early twentieth century and provides fresh readings of canonical texts along the way., Using literary analysis of influential twentieth-century American writers such as Edith Wharton, F Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and more, Cardon shows how these writers used clothing in their character and narrative development and maps the changes in the American fashion industry through its depictions in these novels.... [F]or those looking for a comprehensive illustration of the early American fashion industry and the various ways dress works as a form of personal expression and identity construction, this book is an excellent option., Lauren Cardon gives us a broad-spectrum study of how we read, manipulate, blend, and perform fashion in American society and literature. She deftly moves from theory to practice, placing novelists and designers of the Gilded Age in the context of current conversations about the many meanings of fashion. Seeing new patterns in familiar novels, Cardon stitches together a book that is lush, smart, and a joy to read., Cardon makes important contributions to literary fashion studies and material culture, areas often overlooked or erroneously dismissed as depthless. She distinctly pinpoints their relevancy to the neo-historical sense of independence Americans felt as they entered the innovative twentieth century. Finally, she convincingly demonstrates how clothing represented the struggles of careeradvancement, matrimonial security and societal acceptance during the early twentiethcentury while simultaneously symbolising the timeless allure of selftransformation., Fashion and Fiction is packed with details about clothing design and manu-facture in New York City. The prose is lively, and there is much for readers to learn. Cardon blends fashion history and literary interpretation to give us new ways of thinking about familiar novels and, at times, about novels we may not know well. It is a good book for Wharton scholars and aficionados, especially those looking for links between her novels and those of other writers in the period. Cardon's framing of fashion and her selection of fiction would work well in undergraduate and graduate classes on novels in a cultural context., Cardon makes important contributions to literary fashion studies and material culture, areas often overlooked or erroneously dismissed as depthless. She distinctly pinpoints their relevancy to the neo-historical sense of independence Americans felt as they entered the innovative twentieth century. Finally, she convincingly demonstrates how clothing represented the struggles of career advancement, matrimonial security and societal acceptance during the early twentieth century while simultaneously symbolising the timeless allure of selftransformation.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
