"Offering a revisionist account of the history of the novel in the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, Lauren Gillingham contends that nineteenth-century novelists
found in fashion a temporal model for articulating a heightened sense of the evanescence
of modernity and the cycle of novelty and obsolescence that organizes contemporary
life"
