Book Synopsis
From the color of a politician's tie, to exorbitantly costly haircuts, to the size of an American flag pin adorning a lapel, it's no secret that style has political meaning. The author shows that in France, England, and Spain, daring dress became a way of taking a stance toward the social and political upheaval of the period.

Trade Review
"Dandyism in the Age of Revolution sweeps aside received notions of the dandy as a disengaged fop to recover the figure's political and politicized origins. Well researched and historiographically informed, this book is leavened with the sort of wordplay that dandies themselves would have appreciated." (Laura Mason, Johns Hopkins University)"
