Encountering Medieval Textiles and Dress: Objects, Texts, Images

Encountering Medieval Textiles and Dress: Objects, Texts, Images, edited by D. Koslin, is a wide ranging scholarly study of medieval costume history. Bringing together contributors from archaeology, art history, economics, religion, and material culture studies, this collection examines fashion, textiles, and the representation of clothing throughout the medieval period from multiple disciplinary perspectives.

Rather than a single narrative history, this volume features a series of focused essays exploring specific objects, texts, and images related to medieval dress, offering researchers and serious students a multifaceted view of how clothing functioned within medieval society, economy, and culture.

A valuable resource for historians, costumers, and researchers seeking an academic, cross disciplinary approach to medieval textile and dress history.
