REVIEWS
‘Wilson offers dramatically original ideas that make this a major work of anthropological scholarship and cultural criticism, sharply focused, consistently intelligent and broadly informative.’
L.A. Times‘Her book is the best I have read on the subject, bar none …In her haunting fragment of autobiography, Mirror Writing, [she] presented herself as always strikingly dressed …[and] discussed dandyism and style informally … Adorned in Dreams continues and considerably extends this discussion. She succeeds so well in this project that one only becomes aware of its ambitiousness as she starts pulling together the threads of her main argument.’
Angela Carter (London Review of Books)
