{"product_id":"the-politics-of-appearances-richard-wrigley-9781859735091","title":"The Politics of Appearances: Representations of Dress in Revolutionary France","description":"In the turbulent political and social landscape of Revolutionary France, dress played a major role in defining and displaying new identities. What people wore was, in fact, a vital symbol of their allegiances and beliefs. Drawing on a wide range of documentary and visual sources, this book offers a vivid picture of the highly charged politics of Revolutionary appearances. The author explores the dynamic complexity of the new socio-political world, where the identification of who stood for what was such an urgent, if vexed, issue: where identical items of dress could stand for opposing political ideologies, where a variety of institutions - from local societies to the national assembly - tried to define the meanings associated with clothing, and where the clothes a person wore could seal their fate. Tracing the stories surrounding the liberty cap, the different manifestations of official dress, the tricolore cockade and the sans-culotte provides a new and exciting insight into the complexities and uncertainties that made up life in Revolutionary France and the political culture that it created.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Wrigley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1859735096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781859735091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berg 3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.54w x 0.69d","brand":"Richard Wrigley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44173163233535,"sku":"9781859735091","price":46.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_207991c3-7f8a-4854-8abd-9d9ff4dab10d.jpg?v=1689791337","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-appearances-richard-wrigley-9781859735091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
