Rather than exploring dress's transformative potential, it charts the novel's vibrant engagement with ordinary clothes in its bid to establish new ways of articulating identity and market itself as a durable genre. In a world in which print culture and textile manufacturing traded technologies, and paper was made of rags, the novel, by contrast, resisted the rhetorical and aesthetic links between dress and expression, style and sentiment. Chloe Wigston Smith shows how fiction exploited women's work with clothing - through stealing, sex work, service, stitching, and the stage - in order to revise and reshape material culture within its pages. Her book explores a diverse group of authors, including Jane Barker, Jonathan Swift, Daniel Defoe, Eliza Haywood, Samuel Richardson, Henry Fielding, Charlotte Lennox, John Cleland, Frances Burney and Mary Robinson. 517 3 $aWomen, Work, & Clothes in the Eighteenth-Century Novel 606 $aEnglish fiction$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aClothing and dress in literature 606 $aWork in literature 606 $aWorking class in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aClothing and dress in literature. 615 0$aWork in literature. 615 0$aWorking class in literature. 676 $a823/.6099287 700 $aSmith$b Chloe Wigston$01034343 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452808703321 996 $aWomen, work and clothes in the eighteenth-century novel$92453404 997 $aUNINA
