This book examines the ways in which dress ‘performs’ in a wide range of contemporary and historical literary texts. Essays by North American, European and Australian scholars explore the function of costume within fictional narratives, including those of film, television and advertising. The book provides a groundbreaking examination of the interconnected worlds of fashion and words, providing perspectives from socio-cultural, historical and theoretical readings of fashion and text-based communication.

 Considers how dress ‘performs’ in a wide range of literature
By Midwest Book Review
Fashion in Fiction considers how dress ‘performs’ in a wide range of literature, providing essays by North American, European and Australian scholars who explore costume within a fictional realm. From giving careful consideration to connected worlds of fashion and words to socio-cultural and historical readings of dissimilar genres and periods, this is a pick for arts libraries specializing in design history as well as literary collections mesmerized in social and cultural development.
