Essays on costume, fabric and clothing in the Middle Ages and
beyond. All those who work with historical dress and textiles must
in some way re-fashion them. This fundamental concept is developed
and addressed by the articles collected here, ranging over issues
of gender, status and power. Topics include: the repurposing and
transformation of material items for purposes of religion,
memorialisation, restoration and display; attempts to regulate
dress, both ecclesiastical and secular, the reasons for it and the
refashioning which was both a result and a reaction; conventional
ways in which dress was used to characterise children, and their
transition into young men; how symbolism-laded dress items could
indicate political/religious affiliations; waysin which
allegorical, biblical and historical figures were depicted in art
in dress familiar to the viewers of their own era, and the emotive
and intellectual responses to these costumes the artists sought to
elicit; and the use of clothing in medieval literature (often rich,
exotic or unique) as narrative, structuring and rhetorical devices.
Taken together, they honour the costume historian and editor Robin
Netherton, who has been hugely influentialin the development of
medieval and Renaissance dress and textile studies. GALE R.
