Race and Beauty

Early Modern Cosmetics and the Mythology of Whiteness

Beschreibung

This work examines how beauty standards, specifically the ideology of "fairness," contributed to the racialization of bodies in early modern England. Schoel emphasizes the need to dismantle whiteness's invisibility in historical criticism, noting that it has long been an unexamined norm.
