Description

Explore the deep connection between literary culture and material history with Dress Culture in Late Victorian Women's Fiction. In this richly documented book, Christine Bayles Kortsch examines how the world of sewing and textiles shaped the lives of women during a period of significant social change. As the Education Acts of 1870, 1880, and 1891 expanded print literacy, stitching samplers remained a vital tool for teaching girls both reading skills and what Kortsch calls "dress culture." This work provides a new way to look at nineteenth-century women's education and needlework by showing how these practices were tied to activism and social identity. Whether you are a student of fashion history, a literary scholar, or an enthusiast of Victorian studies, this book offers a detailed look at how textiles and text worked together. It moves beyond simple reading habits to look at the physical acts of sewing and dressmaking that defined the era.
