Abstract
AbstractThis article examines the relationship between urban space, fashion and the changing forms of masculine identity presented by the figure of the dandy in the West End of early nineteenth-century London. It uses the evidence of biographical accounts, popular journalism and printed satire to demonstrate the ways in which the city provided both a supportive framework, a physical resource and a symbolic stage for the performance of a new version of fashionable masculinity. The article complements those accounts of dandyism which stress the symbolic associations of the dandy's stance by insisting on a reading of consumption practices which acknowledge their material co-ordinates, highlighting the role played by the physical context of the metropolis in defining the dandy's attitudes and appearance.
