This single volume encyclopedia is a unique work that brings together hundreds of articles offering the latest research from across the range of disciplines which contribute to our knowledge of medieval dress and textiles.
Despite the long-standing interest in this subject, there has never been an in-depth and comprehensive treatment of the topic. This encyclopedia is an interdisciplinary reference work, introducing readers to various sources of evidence, providing clear information about recent discoveries and interpretations, and offering bibliographical guidance. The volume contains over 100 plates and diagrams to illustrate and explain the text.
Also available online, individually as Encyclopedia of Medieval Dress and Textiles Online and as part of Brill's Medieval Reference Library Online.
Features
- Examines the materials, techniques and styles of secular, ecclesiastical, and military dress, and the changes they underwent over a millennium, as well as considering the concept of fashion in the Middle Ages.
- Focuses on the British Isles, while also considering comparative material from other areas.
- Details surviving material examples and offers technical information on individual garments.
- Investigates techniques of manufacture, the people who produced the goods, and the equipment used - for instance, covering weights and measures, spinning, weaving, and different types of stitching.
- Examines material sources, both archaeological and artistic - such as manuscript illumination, stone and wood carving, brass engraving, and stained glass.
- Makes through use of written evidence, both literary and documentary - such as poetry, epic, riddles, wills, inventories, and wardrobe accounts.
- Broader subjects covered include cross-dressing; the use and significance of gemstones; horse equipment and textiles; religious morality and political philosophy relating to dress; the trade of textiles; and the use of medieval dress and textiles in the present day. See below for a full table of contents.

Recommendation: "This is a serious, academic work that is fun to dip into. I have learnt so much by going from one entry to another and ending up in subjects I had not expected or even knew existed. This book should be in any academic library that has an interest in medieval European life (in all its aspects), medieval British history, as well as in the libraries of those working in the field of archaeological textiles. It will also appeal to those involved in medieval re-enactments (Living History groups), and film and theatre groups who wish to increase their knowledge and accuracy."

"A superb reference work [...] well-produced color and black-and-white illustrations [...] an essential work for scholars of medieval British dress and textiles, as well as for students of dress and material culture in general. And, because costume, jewelry, tapestries, and other aspects of clothing, cloth, and textiles are so important in medieval British writing and culture, the Encyclopedia will be just as important for scholars of medieval British literature and history".
