Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Dressed to Kill explores naval identity, period fashion and masculinity. In a detailed examination of naval uniform and its historical, social and economic contexts Amy Miller, Curator of Decorative Arts and Material Culture at the National Maritime Museum, explores the Museum's extensive and rich collection.
Accompanying the newly commissioned colour photography of the uniforms, personal papers, diaries, fiction and other period artefacts are used to demonstrate the significance of male fashion and uniform in the forging of a national, hierarchical and gendered identity in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
