The varied cultural functions of dress, textiles and clothwork
provide an especially cogent lens through which to reexamine 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.
