During the medieval period, people invested heavily in looking
good. The finest fashions demanded careful chemistry and compounds
imported from great distances and at considerable risk to
merchants; the Church became a major consumer of both the richest
and humblest varieties of cloth, shoes, and adornment; and
vernacular poets began to embroider their stories with hundreds of
verses describing a plethora of dress styles, fabrics, and shopping
experiences. Drawing on a wealth of pictorial, textual and object
sources, the volume examines how dress cultures developed – often
to a degree of dazzling sophistication – between the years 800 to
1450. Beautifully illustrated with 90 images, A Cultural History of
Dress and Fashion in the Medieval Age presents an overview of the
period with essays on textiles, production and distribution, the
body, belief, gender and sexuality, status, ethnicity, visual
representations, and literary representations.
