Synopsis

Comb Sorts Hair unveils the captivating history of combs, transforming our understanding of this everyday object into a window into past civilizations. Far from being a simple grooming tool, the comb reflects societal values, artistic expression, and technological advancements across millennia. Archaeological discoveries reveal that in ancient Egypt, combs were not merely functional but also status symbols integral to elaborate hairstyles and ritual practices. The book explores the evolution of comb design and materials, showcasing adaptations to changing hairstyles and technologies. It also delves into the symbolic roles of combs in different cultures, highlighting their representation of status, beauty ideals, and spiritual beliefs.

 
Structured in three parts, the book progresses from comb morphology and archaeological context to historical case studies across ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Medieval Europe, and finally to an analysis of cultural meanings in art and literature. Comb Sorts Hair challenges our perception of mundane objects by presenting the comb as a tangible link to our ancestors, embodying their aesthetic preferences and capabilities. Drawing on archaeological finds, museum collections, historical texts, and art, the book adopts a narrative non-fiction style, making complex history accessible. This approach makes it a valuable read for history enthusiasts and those interested in the cultural significance of material culture.

    'He understands only the women he invents – the others not at all' 
    Thomas Hardy is one of the most beloved and most-read British authors. His influence on literature and the minds of his readers is singular. But how is it that the novelist who created some of the most memorable and modern female characters in literature had such troubled relationships with real women? 
    In this highly innovative book, acclaimed biographer Paula Byrne re-examines Hardy’s life through the eyes of the women who made him – mother, sisters, girlfriends, wives, muses. The story veers from shocking scenes such as his obsession with the sight of a woman hanged, to poignant vignettes of unfulfilled passion, to fascinating details of working women’s lives in the nineteenth century. 
    Hardy Women is the story of how the magnificent fictional women he invented would not have been possible without the hardship and hardiness of the real ones who shaped his passions and his imagination. It is only through understanding and witnessing these hardy women that we can truly enter the heart of this great novelist and poet. 
    Byrne, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the social history of Britain, exploring the lives of the hardy women who shaped Hardy's life and work. She presents a literary criticism of Hardy's work, focusing on his portrayal of women, and how his real-life relationships influenced his writing. 
    For fans of Lucy Worsley (Jane Austen at Home), Anne De Courcy (Snowdon), Olivia Laing (The Lonely City), Colm Tóibín (A Guest at the Feast), and Devoney Looser (The Making of Jane Austen).
