Big Hair: A Wig History of Consumption in Eighteenth-Century France
This article provides a social, cultural, and economic evaluation of the wig in 18th century France. The article notes that while "it is common to regard the wig of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as an aristocratic ornament of Old Regime Europe ... the wigs of eighteenth-century Western Europe seem to have tumbled down the social hierarchy." From the American Historical Review, published by the American Historical Association.
