Featuring detailed analyses of clothing culture in 17th-century
provincial Sussex, this original study draws on previously
unexploited sources to create an intimate and nuanced portrait of
people and their clothes. An introductory chapter uses 17th-century
literature to identify and explore contemporary ideas about
clothing, the individual and society, as well as the relationship
between London and the provinces and the causes and consequences of
conspicuous clothing consumption. Subsequent chapters look at the
production, distribution and acquisition of clothing in Sussex and
the participation of consumers in these processes; the role of
London as a centre of fashionable clothing consumption and the
experience of wealthier consumers in shopping there; the clothing
worn by individual men, women and older children of the 'middle'
and 'better' sort and the extent to which they participated in
contemporary, London-driven, fashion culture. A final chapter
examines the clothing worn by the poor, including vagrants, parish
paupers and the 'labouring' poor. With over 40 images Clothing in
17th-Century Provincial England offers a new window onto early
modern experiences of clothing.
