"When Fred Miller Robinson tugs the bowler from the closet in "The
Man in the Bowler Hat: His History and Iconography," a wealth of
cultural and social baggage comes tumbling out after
it."--"Esquire"
"Entertaining and enlightening. . . . A scholarly, thoughtful, and
well-documented cultural critique."--"Journal of Popular Culture"
"A hundred years of Western culture pulled out of a bowler
hat--it's quite a trick, and Robinson accomplishes it with
considerable flourish."--Roger Shattuck, Boston University
"An attempt to penetrate the bowler's significance in art,
literature, and life. . . . Robinson] has ferreted out plenty of
curious and varied information, he has some nice observations of
detail, and he offers a good deal to enlighten and amuse."--"New
Yorker"
"A witty, well-written, scrupulously researched book that is a
wonderful fusion of genres: social history, cultural history, and
something that falls between belles lettres and fiction."--Dore
Ashton, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art
