Reseña del editor:
The concepts masculine and feminine may have undergone steady erosion since the heyday of he-man Tarzan. Yet Tarzan was able to walk around in a mini-skirt and men who have dared to do so after him, or dress with a sense of fashion, continue to attract attention as closet-homosexuals. Abhorring this confusion, George Walden has written a book on dandyism which he argues is a deeply-rooted and a uniquely English phenomenon. Using the celebrated life-portrait of the dying Beau Brummell by Jules Barbey (included at the end of the book), he shows in this text who are today's supreme dandies and who its fops, in a way that is bound to cause controversy.
Biografía del autor:
George Walden is a polymath who counts Russian, Chinese and French among his many languages. Before he became a well-known columnist, reviewer and polemicist, he worked in the Foreign Office and was a conservative MP for fifteen years until 97. His previous books include Lucky George (1999). Jules Barbey, known as the French Walter Scott, met Beau Brummell after his escape to France. George Walden here provides the first complete translation of his celebrated Brummell portrait, previously only available in Bowdlerised editions.

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The concepts masculine and feminine may have undergone steady erosion since the heyday of he-man Tarzan. Yet Tarzan was able to walk around in a mini-skirt and men who have dared to do so after him, or dress with a sense of fashion, continue to attract attention as closet-homosexuals. Abhorring this confusion, George Walden has written a book on dandyism which he argues is a deeply-rooted and a uniquely English phenomenon. Using the celebrated life-portrait of the dying Beau Brummell by Jules Barbey (included at the end of the book), he shows in this text who are today's supreme dandies and who its fops, in a way that is bound to cause controversy. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR000953808
