Ebook: The Glamour System

In the course of the twentieth century, glamor has been associated primarily with the cinema and its stars, though fashion, "high society", popular music, shopping, glossy magazines, and advertising have all sought to harness its allure.

The authors trace the history and current power of glamor as a language of visual seduction.
