Beauty and Cosmetics in the Time of Jane Austen

Downing, Sarah Jane

Sarah Jane Downing examines the hair and beauty styles of Jane Austen's era. She looks at the beauty ideals of the Regency period to shed light on the transition from the baroque high hair and formal doll-like faces of the court of King George III to the fresh complexions and glossy, bouncy ringlets of the Regency.
