Bound to Please: A History of the Victorian Corset
An excellent work that ties the sociological underpinnings of corsetry as well as the physical. I can't say if this is the best introduction to the subject-- modern discussion of corsetry is such a turgid pit of argument that I don't know if there is such a thing as a good historical introduction-- but the read was fascinating, and somehow managed to be lively and informative despite clearly being highly academic. Would recommend, but only to those with extremely specific interests on this subject. Also, strong stomachs for medical torture.
