Despite the title, this is largely a look at surviving garments from the later Middle Ages, with a handful from the earlier medieval period and one or two pieces from the early 1500s. Elizabeth Coatsworth and Gale Owen-Crocker have pulled together an informative and representative overview of medieval garments and accessories, grouped into chapters such as leg coverings, priestly garments, and accessories. Each garment's history, dimensions, and construction details are discussed, together with at least one high quality colour photo. The authors weren't able to examine all of the items in person (unsurprisingly, given likely conservation concerns), and it would have been nice to see garments from across a broader swathe of medieval Europe. Still, a informative and aesthetically pleasing volume to dip into. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
An astonishing number of medieval garments survive, more-or-less complete. Here the authors present 100 items, ranging from homely to princely. The book's wide-ranging introduction discusses the circumstances in which garments have survived to the present; sets and collections; constructional and decorative techniques; iconography; inscriptions on garments; style and fashion. Detailed descriptions and discussions explain technique and ornament, investigate alleged associations with famous people (many of them spurious) and demonstrate, even when there are no known associations, how a garment may reveal its own biography: a story that can include repair, remaking, recycling; burial, resurrection and veneration; accidental loss or deliberate deposition. The authors both have many publications in the field of medieval studies, including previous collaborations on medieval textiles such as Medieval Textiles of the British Isles AD 450-1100: an Annotated Bibliography (2007), the Encyclopedia of Medieval Dress and Textiles of the British Isles (2012) and online bibliographies.
