Dear colleagues,
I'm happy to announce the publication of my book, Historical Style: Fashion and the New Mode of History, 1740-1830, which includes prominent treatment of Maria Edgeworth, William Godwin, Sophia Lee, and Walter Scott, as well as the visual and print culture of the Romantic period. My apologies for cross-posting for those on the NASSR list.
All best,
Tim Campbell

Historical Style: Fashion and the New Mode of History, 1740-1830
Timothy Campbell
"Our ideas of history are dependent upon lived temporalities shaped by commercial and material forces, and I have never seen this truth so solidly, aptly, and compellingly explicated as in Timothy Campbell's book."—Erin Mackie, Syracuse University
"Original, witty, and very well-researched, Historical Style deftly argues that eighteenth-century British culture became self-consciously periodized through the new phenomenon of fashion trends."—Cynthia Wall, University of Virginia
In Historical Style, Timothy Campbell argues that the eighteenth-century fashion press shaped British perception of time and history by producing new curiosity about the very recent past and a new self-consciousness about the means by which the past could be understood.
