FIT Authors Talks: Hilary Davidson: Dress in the Age of Jane Austen

Professor Hilary Davidson discusses her book, Dress in the Age of Jane Austen: Regency Fashion.

Lavishly illustrated with paintings, drawings, historic garments, and fashion plates—including many previously unpublished images—this authoritative yet accessible book will help readers visualize the external selves of Austen’s immortal characters as clearly as she wrote of their internal ones. The result is an enhanced understanding of Austen’s work and time, and also of the history of one of Britain’s most distinctive fashion eras.
