Renaissance Clothing and the Materials of Memory

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this 2001 book, Jones and Stallybrass argue that the making and transmission of fabrics and clothing were central to Renaissance culture. Their examination offers a close reading of literary texts, paintings, textiles, theatrical documents, and ephemera to reveal how clothing and textiles were crucial to gender, sexuality, and religion in the Renaissance.
