Details The historical and social use of clothing through head coverings, embroidered vests and other costumes and ornaments is inseparable from the requirements of fashion as well as the rhetoric and semiologies of clothing construction of which La Bruyère was, among others, a brilliant reader. Because the text is etymologically a fabric, representing a garment is also always a way of talking about the literary text itself. This book, which focuses on social and aesthetic representations of clothing in the classical age in France, studies the textile and poetics of clothing with Mme d'Aulnoy, Rétif, Berquin or Marivaux, but also in ballets and theater, notably through the feathers and ribbons of Molière and the costumes of the Blacks of Olympus de Gouges.
