The word "dandy" still retains an indefinable air of mysterious charm, and dandies themselves are seen as eccentric aesthetes, creators of brilliant whims. But who can be called a modern dandy? How did the modern canon of male elegance emerge? Why did dandies take turtles for walks?
You'll learn about these serious, and sometimes humorous, topics in Olga Weinstein's book "Dandy." Among the book's main characters are the famous British dandy George Brummell, the French dandies Count d'Orsay, Barbey d'Aurevilly, and Charles Baudelaire, and the decadents Oscar Wilde and Count Robert de Montesquiou. For the first time, European dandyism emerges as a distinct cultural tradition, encompassing not only fashionable attire but also an everyday lifestyle, refined demeanor, special body techniques, and a secret charisma. The book provides detailed accounts of English clubs and gentlemen's pranks, urban flâneurs and "optical duels," social receptions and virtual aristocracy. A special section is devoted to the history of Russian dandyism and its native dandies.
