Michelle Liu Carriger. <i>Theatricality of the Closet: Fashion, Performance and Subjectivity Between Victorian Britain and Meiji Japan</i>

A deep analysis of the meaning of clothing across many contexts, linking English and Japanese case studies as well as nineteenth- and twenty-first-century examples, Theatricality of the Closet redefines theatricality and its connection to identity. It will be of interest to scholars of theatre and performance, visual culture, fashion, gender, and sociology.
