Description

Explore the first global history of dress regulation with The Right to Dress: Sumptuary Laws in a Global Perspective, c.1200-1800. Published by Cambridge University Press, this work examines how states used sumptuary laws to control manufacturing systems, moral economies, and the consumption of clothing. Through the lens of expenditure and consumption, this book investigates how regulations extended beyond apparel to influence banquets, festivities, and funerals. Leading scholars provide insights into Asian, Latin American, Ottoman, and European history to explain how clothing became a key aspirational good. This text offers a deep look at how items of dress were lobbied for and marketed within different societies across several centuries.
