Emily Dickinson and the Labor of Clothing
A friend gave me this book as she thought I would find it interesting. It turns out Emily Dickinson was very misunderstood when it comes to her life style and her dress. She is associated with a lonely white dress that it was rumored was all she wore.
Daneen Wardrop works hard to prove Emily Dickinson different. From the conclusion: ...If she was distant, she was also compassionate....If elitist she was also at times adept at imagining the lives of working class laborers...If privileged, she was also hard working.....involving herself in the labor of her time."
Throughout the book are lots of references to the dress of the day. There is very interesting information on dress materials, hats, and industry standards of the times.
