Rebecca Unsworth
This is the blog of Rebecca Unsworth. It is a collection of musings, encompassing reflections on my research, explorations of new ideas, reviews of various things, and deviations into the world outside of academia. All posts on it are my own, as are all images, unless otherwise stated.
I am a fashion and design historian, mostly located in the early modern period. I am currently undertaking a PhD at Queen Mary University of London and the Victoria and Albert Museum on the circulation of news about men's fashion in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe.
