Popis

The author traces the evolution of clothing among various social strata and groups in Europe—and particularly in the Bohemian lands—from the 11th century to the end of the 16th century. The scope ranges from monarchs, the nobility, and the clergy to burghers, artisans, and warriors (including the Hussites), as well as peasants and those on the fringes of society; male and female attire are described separately, and a dedicated chapter focuses on children. Shifts in fashion trends are illustrated through literary excerpts and numerous color reproductions from 31 illuminated manuscripts held by the National Library of the Czech Republic. This impressive volume—also available in a Czech edition titled Čas odložil svůj šat—concludes with the glossary of terms, the list of manuscripts used, and the bibliography.
