CONGRESS CANCELED Dress and Textiles I: Rank and Signifiers
Description
This session coincides with the release of an important new book in dress history — Dressing the Scottish Court, 1543–1553; Clothing in The Accounts of the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland — whose author will present additional findings from that research, focusing on the use of dress to express rank. The other papers harmonize with that theme, addressing dress and textiles as signifiers in, respectively, an Anglo-Saxon hagiographical history, a twelfth-century French romance, and Welsh and Icelandic literature and law codes.
