Description

Discover how dress and textiles shaped late Victorian literary culture in Christine Bayles Kortsch's meticulously researched exploration. This richly documented book reveals the intricate connection between material culture and women's writing, examining how the Education Acts of 1870, 1880, and 1891 expanded print literacy whilst needlework and sampler-stitching remained central to girls' education and acculturation. Kortsch traces the fascinating interplay between nineteenth-century women's education, sewing practices, mainstream fashion, and alternative approaches to dress, demonstrating how textile work served as both a literacy tool and a form of cultural engagement. Essential reading for scholars and enthusiasts of Victorian literature, fashion history, and women's studies, this volume illuminates the often-overlooked role of dress culture in shaping literary consciousness and social activism during one of history's most transformative periods.
