While dress is but one way of entering into a text, and a small point of entry at that, analysis of dress in Richardson's novels provides us with insights into the nature of novel writing in eighteenth-century England; into the nature of Richardson's novelistic project of constructing a legible domestic feminine body whose signification remains stable; and into the paradox that Richardson'sideal, sensible (as possessedof sensibility) female body is ultimately coded as male. It also callsinto question the whole construct of the b3 sdomestic woman b4 s and what this construct means in terms of bourgeois ideology: Is the ideal domestic woman merely a man in drag?
