Reviews for Outward Appearances
Will Pritchard's Outward Appearances: The Female Exterior in Restoration London is a compelling and original study of the interaction between the male gaze and the female body. . . . [Pritchard] has uncovered and recontextualized a wide range of primary texts and images, and he has offered a carefully crafted, well-documented take on the female exterior. (Restoration. 33.1))))
