Medieval Clothing And Textiles 15
The essays in this volume continue the Journal's tradition of groundbreaking interdisciplinary work. The volume opens with a survey of the discipline of medieval clothing and textiles, written by founding editor Gale R. Owen-Crocker. The range of the other essays extends chronologically from the early Middle Ages through the fifteenth century and covers a variety of disciplines. Topics include the conception of the author as a ""wordweaver"" in the literatures of Anglo-Saxon England, intertextual literary identities established through clothing in the Nibelungenlied and the Völsunga Saga, the historical record of clothing and textiles at the court of King John of England, medallion silks, their use in Western Europe, and their representation in art, the vestments of Beguines and other penitential movements in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and a depiction of heraldic textile weaving inlate-medieval art.
