Sinossi

This book captures the essence of 18th-century English social and political culture, meticulously detailing its customs, fashions, and literary scene.

It explores the rise and fall of certain fashions, such as the enormous headdresses popular among women, and the shift in literary styles and genres. This book brings to light the evolution of English society during this period, its literary and cultural landscape, and its preoccupation with ideas around virtue and social norms.
