Medieval Clothing and Textiles 15 

The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing from a variety of angles and approaches.


The essays in this volume continue the Journal’s tradition of groundbreaking interdisciplinary work. The volume opens with a survey of the discipline of medieval clothing and textiles, written by founding editor Gale R. Owen-Crocker. The range of the other essays extends chronologically from the early Middle Ages through the fifteenth century and covers a variety of disciplines. Topics include the conception of the author as a ‚wordweaver‘ in the literatures of Anglo-Saxon England; intertextual literary identities established through clothing in the
Nibelungenlied and the
Völsunga Saga; the historical record of clothing and textiles at the court of King John of England; medallion silks, their use in Western Europe, and their representation in art; the vestments of Beguines and other penitential movements in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries; and a depiction of heraldic textile weaving inlate-medieval art.
