O autorze

Simon Gatrell is Professor of English at the University of Georgia. He has written on diverse topics in nineteenth- and twentieth-century English and Irish literature, but has made the poetry and fiction of Thomas Hardy a particular focus of attention in his work both as a critic and as a scholarly editor. His conversion to the fundamental significance of dress in literature is relatively recent.
