Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Concerning Beards' is an engaging and witty exploration of the history, lore, and social significance of facial hair throughout the ages. Written by Edwin Valentine Mitchell, this work delves into the fascinating evolution of beards, examining how they have been perceived as symbols of wisdom, masculinity, and even political affiliation across different civilizations. From the elaborate styles of antiquity to the shifting fashions of the modern era, the book provides a comprehensive look at the various attitudes cultures have held toward the beard.Mitchell combines historical research with anecdotal charm, discussing the laws, religious decrees, and social pressures that have influenced the growth and grooming of facial hair over centuries. The narrative touches upon famous figures who donned iconic beards and the barbers who shaped them, offering insights into the broader social history of grooming. Readers will find a wealth of curious facts and entertaining stories that illuminate the bizarre and often humorous rituals associated with manhood and style.This work serves as both a cultural history and a lighthearted study of human vanity and tradition.
