This week I submitted my manuscript for Being Pretty in the Eighteenth Century: a Cultural History of Female Beauty to @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social This book has been a (long) labour of love and I owe so many thank yous to so many people for helping me reach this stage!
A book cover for Being Pretty in the Eighteenth Century: a cultural history of female beauty by Katherine Aske published by Bloomsbury. The cover is teal blue and depicts an eighteenth century portrait of a white woman in a large, white silk dress with puff sleeves, brown curled hair with blue ribbons, looking towards the sky. There is a large brown curtain hanging behind the sitting figure. The painting is by Joshua Reynolds of Mrs Stanhope as Contemplation.
