"The definitive work on the subject of Cashmere and Paisley shawls in all of their intricate significances within eighteenth- and nineteenth-century English history and fiction."--Deborah Denenholz Morse, Sara E. Nance Professor of English, College of William & Mary, "An original and arresting piece of scholarship.... With its broad range, it should find a wide readership among those interested in fashion and the novel, literary critics, and cultural and imperial historians alike."--Kate Teltscher, author of India Inscribed: European and British Writing on India, 1600-1800, "The definitive work on the subject of Cashmere and Paisley shawls in all of their intricate significances within eighteenth- and nineteenth-century English history and fiction.... Magisterial."--Deborah Denenholz Morse, Sara E. Nance Professor of English, College of William & Mary, "A magisterial exploration.... Suchitra Choudhury has dug deeply in the archives of British India to reveal the shawl's multiple meanings as a desired fashion accessory, cultural mobile, and orientalist icon. Linking the fashion system to imperial governance, gender and class insurrection, her book demonstrates that despite its privileged place at the heart of British domesticity, the 'old Cashmere shawl' possessed an uncanny power to disturb and disrupt. An important, original, and long-awaited contribution to the literary study of British India."--Nigel Leask, author of Stepping Westward: Writing the Highland Tour, c.1720-1830, "Suchitra Choudhury weaves together entangled histories and discovers that the humble shawl is in fact a powerful symbol of empire, trade, industry, class, gender, design, and fashion, as well as being a symbol of identity, authenticity, family, and belonging."--Leonie Bell, director, Victoria and Albert Museum Dundee, "A magisterial exploration.... Suchitra Choudhury has dug deeply in the archives of British India to reveal the shawl's multiple meanings as a desired fashion accessory and orientalist icon. Linking the fashion system to imperial governance, gender and class insurrection, her book demonstrates that despite its privileged place at the heart of British domesticity, the 'old Cashmere shawl' possessed an uncanny power to disturb and disrupt. An important, original, and long-awaited contribution to the literary study of British India."--Nigel Leask, author of Stepping Westward: Writing the Highland Tour, c.1720-1830, "From diplomatic gift to fashion trend, literary trope to colonialism's violent accessory, the cashmere shawl is the star of Textile Orientalisms. Expertly weaving historical and literary sources, Suchitra Choudhury spins a vibrant tale of this culturally rich textile, intertwining the object and its many soft powers with British Empire scholarship."--Susan Hiner, author of Accessories to Modernity: Fashion and the Feminine in Nineteenth-Century France

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
