The “Secret” Language of FansOne of the things I absolutely love about the Victorian period is their fashion accessories, especially the fan and the parasol. Consequently, you’ll find that I mention both of these items frequently in my books. While the parasol was necessary as a sunshade, its size prohibited further use beyond that of style (unless, of course, it was used in extreme circumstances as a weapon ). A fan, however, due to its compact structure and frequent deployment due to uneven temperatures or even olfactory issues, served many purposes. In some instances, a fan could be decorated with jewels much like a necklace, in others it could be a means to make a simple political statement. In THE SEDUCTION OF A DUKE, fans were used to communicate unspoken sentiments across a room. |
