Blanchard shows that aestheticism was a wide-ranging popular movement, implemented by an array of tastemakers, resisted by the moral guardians of Victorianism. She constructs the fascinating (and previously unrecognized) lives of the female visionaries who used the decorative arts to assault the conventions of their own middle-class milieu and to advance in the social and business worlds of the Gilded Age. She also shows how the movement allowed new forms of identity for men -- in particular feminized or homosexual roles that were profoundly at odds with Victorian notions of manliness. Drawing on evidence from material culture, popular media, and history and literature, Blanchard reveals aestheticism as a vibrant oppositional movement in the American Gilded Age.
