Sobre IBD

Reflects a new understanding of modernism by following the fortunes of a single item of fashion.“When Fred Miller Robinson tugs the bowler from the closet in The Man in the Bowler Hat: His History and Iconography, a wealth of cultural and social baggage comes tumbling out after it.” — Esquire“Entertaining and enlightening. . . . A scholarly, thoughtful, and well-documented cultural critique.” — Journal of Popular Culture“A hundred years of Western culture pulled out of a bowler hat — it’s quite a trick, and Robinson accomplishes it with considerable flourish.” — Roger Shattuck, Boston University“An attempt to penetrate the bowler’s significance in art, literature, and life. . . . [Robinson] has ferreted out plenty of curious and varied information, he has some nice observations of detail, and he offers a good deal to enlighten and amuse.” — New Yorker“A witty, well-written, scrupulously researched book that is a wonderful fusion of genres: social history, cultural history, and something that falls between belles lettres and fiction.” — Dore Ashton, The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and ArtOriginally published in 1993.A UNC Press Enduring Edition — UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
