Publisher Synopsis
[The book] offers a welcome variety of approaches to the history of dress and textiles. It is hoped [it may] now encourage future research into the cultural anthropology of human clothing, an area that has yet to be fully integrated into the study of the history of dress. * Jane Bridgeman, The Art Newspaper * Important and original volume...Fashioning the Early Modern is beautifully illustrated and offers a wide geographical range. * Ulinka Rublack, Times Literary Supplement * It is rare to find an edited volume of such consistently high caliber across its contributions. ... The high-quality production of the volume - with its generous colour illustrations of portraits and genre paintings, furniture and decorative objects, fashion albus and sample fabric books, individual garments and accessories - brings this point home, beautifully evoking the materiality of early modern fashion * Laura R. Bass, Bulletin of the Comediantes * Overall, changing styles are interpreted in front of a wide continental backdrop of politics, law, religion, trade, science, and technology. Useful bibliography of 41 pages of primary/secondary sources and unpublished papers....Highly recommended. * B.B. Chico, CHOICE * Read more...
