Description
In this study of Anglo-Saxon dress, Gail Owen-Crocker synthesizes a wide range of evidence - archaeological, historical and artistic - to reconstruct the history of the age, tracing political and cultural change through its repercussions in the area of fashion. The study aims to show how the growth of a Christian, literate culture is reflected in the increased importance of written or illustrated material as indicators of dress styles.Tags
