Dressing Up shows why clothes made history and history can be about
clothes. It imagines the Renaissance afresh by considering peoples
appearances: what they wore, how this made them move, what images
they created, and how all this made people feel about themselves.
Using an astonishing array of sources, Ulinka Rublack argues that
an appreciation of peoples relationship to appearances and images
is essential to an understanding of what it meant to live at this
time - and ever since. We read about the head accountant of a
sixteenth-century merchant firm who commissioned 136 images of
himself elaborately dressed across a lifetime; students arguing
with their mother about which clothes they could have; or Nuremberg
women wearing false braids dyed red or green. This brilliantly
illustrated book draws on a range of insights across the
disciplines and allows us to see an entire period in new ways. In
integrating its findings into larger arguments about consumption,
visual culture, the Reformation, German history, and the
relationship of European and global history, it promises to
re-shape the field.
