by Josie Schoel (Author)

This work examines how beauty standards, specifically the ideology of "fairness," contributed to the racialization of bodies in early modern England. Schoel emphasizes the need to dismantle whiteness's invisibility in historical criticism, noting that it has long been an unexamined norm.
