References to clothing in the nineteenth-century naturalist novel
have traditionally been read merely as examples of descriptive
detail. Thompson, in her groundbreaking study on Zola, rescues
clothing from the margins of representation, and draws on a wide
range of twentieth-century feminist and queer theory to demonstrate
that clothing troubles such binary pairs as 'masculine' and
'feminine', 'normal' and 'perverse', 'natural' and 'artificial'
that lie at the foundations of Zolian naturalism. The author's
investment in the signifying power of clothing in the
Rougon-Macquart is such that the novels can no longer be read as
unproblematic illustrations of literary naturalism; in fact its
intensity demands that Zola's relationship to literature and his
descriptions of Second Empire society be reassessed. (Legenda 2003)
