Who is a Dandy?: Dandyism and George Brummell - Softcover

Dandyism has made an amazing come-back after 200 years, with people like David Beckham and Jarvis Cocker leading the field and everyone else following. At the heart of dandyism, however, stands the greatest dandy of all, George Brummell. His competitive dressing and cutting attitude are all copied today. This acclaimed brief and entertaining book is both a biography of his life and an examination of what it takes to be a dandy, with a fair pinch of salt.
