Уильям Теккерей «Men and Coats»

In his 1841 “Men and Coats” for Fraser’s, Thackeray further evokes the gender dimension

of fashion by criticizing Bulwer’s dandy novels for their bloated, flowery and almost

effeminate style. Bulwer is accused of wearing his dandy clothes, the “large-flowered

damask dressing-gown” and” morocco slippers” when writing his novels.
