'Riello and McNeil's new collection of essays represents an immense
and impressive project' - Choice 'Now, the key contributions from
nearly every expert in the field are assembled in one fascinating
book. This kaleidoscopic and informative volume ranges impressively
across conventional boundaries of chronology, geography, and
discipline.' - Glenn Adamson, Victoria and Albert Museum, London,
UK 'This book is indispensable for anyone interested in fashion.
History has never been more alive than in the pages of this
Reader.' - Patrizia Calefato, University of Bari, Italy The Fashion
History Reader is an innovative work that provides a broad
introduction to the complex literature in the fields of fashion
studies, and dress and fashion history. Twenty-three chapters and
over forty shorter 'Snapshot' texts cover a wide range of topics
and approaches within the history of fashion, ranging from
object-based studies to theory-driven analyses. The book is divided
into six parts, surveying some of the key themes in the history of
fashion. Themes also move in and across time, providing a
chronology to enable student learning: parts one to three cover the
fifteenth to the eighteenth-century parts four and five cover the
nineteenth-century to the contemporary (with particular attention
given to non-European countries) part six provides a survey of the
global setting and current globalized nature of fashion. A
comprehensive introduction by the editors contextualizes debates
for students, synthesising past history and bringing them
up-to-date through a discussion of globalization. Each section also
includes a short, accessible introduction by the editors, placing
each chapter within the wider, thematic treatment of fashion and
its history, and an 'Annotated Guide to Further Reading' encourages
students to enhance their learning independently. The Fashion
History Reader was awarded a prize for 'Best Edited Book' at the
Art Association of Australia and New Zealand: Art Historians of
Australasia, Annual General Meeting, December 2011.
