Seller's Description:
Fine. 8vo. 280pp, index, bw ills. Or card covers. As new. Dickens, Ruskin and Baudelaire all asked why it was, that in an age of supreme wealth and power, that men wanted to dress as if going to a funeral. Examines the phenomenon of the 19th and 20th century English society of 'men in black'-you will probably never wear a black garment again without resonating like a tuning fork with the memory of what you have read. Important contribution to the growing body of literature on the meaning of clothes and colour.
