Renaissance Clothing and the Materials of Memory

In Renaissance Clothing and the Materials of Memory Jones and Stallybrass argue that the making and transmission of fabrics and clothing were central to the making of Renaissance culture. Their examination explores the role of clothes as forms of memory transmitted from master to servant, from friend to friend, from lover to lover. This book 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.Author: Ann Rosalind Jones, Peter StallybrassPublisher: Cambridge University PressPublished: 01/25/2001Pages: 386Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 1.40lbsSize: 9.90h x 6.58w x 0.77dISBN: 9780521786638Review Citation(s): Choice 12/01/2001 pg. 670This title is not returnable
