Description
Further Details Title: Designing Women Condition: New Description: Dressing rooms, introduced into English domestic architecture during the seventeenth century, provided elite women with unprecedented private space at home and in so doing, promised them equally unprecedented autonomy by providing a space for self-fashioning, eroticism, and contemplation. Tita Chico’s Designing Women argues that the dressing room becomes a powerful metaphor in late seventeenth- and eighteenth-century literature. While satirists—such as Dryden, François Bruys, Gay, Wortley Montagu, John Breval, Elizabeth Thomas, Pope, and Swift—attack the lady’s dressing room as a site of individual and social degradation, domestic novelists—including Richardson, Lennox, Burney, Goldsmith, Austen, and Edgeworth—celebrate it as a space for moral, social, and personal amelioration. As a symbol of both progressive and retrograde versions of femininity, the dressing room trope in eighteenth-century literature redefines the gendered constitution of private spaces, and offers a corrective to our literary history of generic influence and development between satire and the novel.

arrived a tad late, but the customer service was absolutely INCREDIBLE. never had such good service from an online shop before- they even offered to replace had it not shown up by the end of the week (luckily it did!) item was brand new (still sealed) and packaged really well- good price too for a resell. completely unscathed arriving here. 10/10, would buy from this seller/shop again in the future. thank you for answering all my questions and being so kind, olaya!

The seller packaged the Blu-ray/DVD/CD box set with care in appropriate cardboard mailers to prevent damage to the box set cover and the discs and shipped the package expeditiously. The package arrived earlier than estimated and the box set and discs were in the as-described New, Sealed, Mint condition. With free shipping, this was an incredible value. I am a repeat customer from this fantastic seller and I will be back for more. Excellent seller! 5 Stars!
