Dress, Distress and Desire explores representations of sartorial
experience in eighteenth-century literature. Batchelor's study
brings together for the first time canonical and non-canonical
texts including novels, conduct books and women's magazines to
investigate the pressures that the growth of the fashion market
placed on conceptions of female virtue and propriety. It shows how
dress dispelled the sentimental myth that the body acted as a moral
index and enabled the women reader to resist some of sentimental
literature's more prescriptive advice.
