Dress in Anglo-Saxon England
Gale R. Owen-Crocker
Erweiterte Neuauflage des lange vergriffenen Standardwerks zur
Bekleidung im England des 5.-11. Jahrhunderts. Hier werden die
archäologischen Funde mit den Darstelllungen in der Kunst
verglichen, die Bekleidungsproduktion, Kleidungszubehör und Mode
strömungen untersucht und auch Erkenntnisse aus dem Reenactment
berücksichtigt.
Based on the revised and expanded edition of 2004, this paperback
is an encyclopaedic study of English dress from the fifth to the
eleventh centuries, drawing evidence from archaeology, text and art
(manuscripts, ivories, metalwork, stone sculpture, mosaics), and
also from re-enactors' experience. It examines archaeological
textiles, cloth production and the significance of imported cloth
and foreign fashions. Dress is discussed as a marker of gender,
ethnicity, status and social role - in the context of a pagan
burial, dress for holy orders, bequests of clothing, commissioning
a kingly wardrobe, and much else - and surviving dress fasteners
and accessories are examined with regardto type and to
geographical/chronological distribution. There are colour
reconstructions of early Anglo-Saxon dress and a cutting pattern
for a gown from the Bayeux tapestry; Old English garment names are
discussed, and there isa glossary of costume and other relevant
terms.
