Creators:	Mahawatte, Royce
Description:	This chapter explores the representation of hair in George Eliot’s The Mill on the Floss (1860) and Thomas Hardy’s The Woodlanders (1887). I explore the meaning of hair as a fashioned and literary practice and connect details of the primary texts to hair dressing practices and also to beauty journalism.
