Abstract:
In the course of the twentieth century, glamour 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. Yet few people know anything of the origins or uses of the aura of excitement that are associated with glamour. The authors trace the history and current power of glamour as a language of visual seduction
