Über diesen Titel

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.
