Dress in Anglo Saxon England, November 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Dress in Anglo Saxon England (Paperback)
This is a wonderfully thorough, academic book. It breaks male and female dress into eras, and then examines clothing form, fabric, and accessories in a very scholarly manner. The author is not afraid to note when the record is unclear, and equally unafraid to give her own opinion. The index and bibiliography are extensive. At the same time, the book is very readable and well written, and easy for non-academics (such as myself) to follow. This book is _the_ source for Anglo Saxon costume recreationists.
