In the context of this rapidly changing world, Rachel Worth
explores the ways in which the clothing of the rural working
classes was represented visually in paintings and photographs and
by the literary sources of documentary, autobiography and fiction,
as well as by the particular pattern of survival and collection by
museums of garments of rural provenance. Rachel Worth explores ways
in which clothing and how it is represented throws light on wider
social and cultural aspects of society, as well as how
'traditional' styles of dress, like men's smock-frocks or women's
sun-bonnets, came to be replaced by 'fashion'. Her compelling
study, with black & white and colour illustrations, both adds a
broader dimension to the history of dress by considering it within
the social and cultural context of its time and discusses how
clothing enriches our understanding of the social history of the
Victorian period.
