This volume brings together a range of scholars from diverse
disciplinary backgrounds to re-examine the histories of facial hair
and its place in discussions of gender, the military, travel and
art, amongst others. Chapters in the first section of the
collection explore the intricate history of beard wearing and
shaving, including facial hair fashions in long historical
perspective, and the depiction of beards in portraiture. Section
Two explores the shifting meanings of the moustache, both as a
manly symbol in the nineteenth century, and also as the focus of
the material culture of personal grooming. The final section of the
collection charts the often-complex relationship between men, women
and facial hair. It explores how women used facial hair to
appropriate masculine identity, and how women's own hair was read
as a sign of excessive and illicit sexuality.
