- W2900396628 abstract "In this book, Helen Sheumaker documents the arcane history of hairwork in the United States from the end of the eighteenth century until around 1920. The book tells not only of the manipulation of human hair into various cherished objects reflecting the sentimentality of the time, but also of sentimentality itself. To a twenty-first-century reader, generations removed from both the craft and the sentiment that drove it, the subject of the book seems remote and somewhat bizarre, even viscerally objectionable. Today, it is almost impossible to imagine saving combed-out hair or taking clippings in order to painstakingly work it into tidy coils, ropes, beads, flowers, feathers, and festoons placed into jewelry settings to adorn a friend or lover, or even to memorialize a departed loved one. As the author points out, hair is part of a living body, a growing essence of that person. As such, by wearing bits of it, “that severed piece of self,” (p. 270), hair was used to symbolize the closeness of friendships, loving couples, and families. A second popular use was to fashion various family members' hair into wreaths of flowers which became typical middle-class household decorations. Although these are the best known hair-crafted reminders from the nineteenth century today, Sheumaker also spends considerable time on albums—autograph, friendship and family, poetry and sentimental verse—that reinforced the sentimentality of the time." @default.
