2000-01-10 So I started reading volume one of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past and I think I've made an important discovery I'm not sure has been covered in the numerous websites and articles about the fearfull Mullet Hairstyle: On page 14, the character Swann is described as having hair, "...done in the Bressant style..." In the notes section it states: "Bressant: a well-known actor (1815-1886) who introduced a new hair-style which involved wearing the hair short in front and fairly long behind." previous next |
