The varied cultural functions of dress, textiles and clothwork provide an especially cogent lens through which to re-examine our assumptions about the Middle Ages because of the topic's conceptual breadth. Its implications range from the highly theoretical to the very concrete. At one end of the spectrum, questions of dress call up feminist theoretical investigations into the body and subjectivity, while broadening those inquiries to include theories of masculinity as well. At the other extreme, the production and distribution of textiles carries us into the domain of economic history and the study of material commodities, trade and cultural patterns of exchange within western Europe and between east and west. Contributors to this volume represent a broad array of disciplines currently involved in rethinking medieval culture in terms of the material world.

Not an easy read

By critic on March 15, 2006

Format: Paperback

I should probably give this book a '5' because it IS good for what it is. But it put me to sleep before the end of the first chapter.... This is a textbook suitable for an upper-level university class in medieval studies. This is not for the casual reader! If you are interested in esoteric theories, new interpretations of medieval literature through an emphasis on dress studies, and a bit of heavy jargon--this is the book for you.

[This book was recommended to me by Amazon.com because of other titles that I own in the area of historic textiles and dress. I'm afraid that this recommendation just highlights the drawbacks of an automated rating system.]
