The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. Following the Journal's tradition of
drawing on a range of disciplines, the essays here also extend
chronologically from the tenth through the sixteenth century and
cover a wide geography: from Scandinavia to Spain, with stops in
England and the Low Countries. They include an examination of the
lexical items for banners in Beowulf, evidence of the use of curved
template for the composition in the Bayeux Tapestry, a discussion
of medieval cultivation of hemp for use in textiles in Sweden, a
reading of the character of Lady Mede (Piers Plowman) in the
context of costume history, the historical context of the Spanish
verdugados (in English, the farthingale)and its use as political
propaganda, an analysis of the sartorial imagery on a tabletop
painting (attributed to Bosch) depicting the Seven Deadly Sins, and
the reconstruction of one of the sixteenth-century London Livery
companies' crowns.
