I have just received my author's copy of the 2009 volume of Medieval Clothing and Textiles journal. This is rather earlier than we expected! I understand that orders are now in the UK warehouse and are being shipped, and will be at the publisher's US branch shortly.
Contents of volume 5: "Clothing and Conflict in the Icelandic Family Sagas: Literary Convention and the Discourse of Power," by Kate D'Ettore "Obscure Lands and Obscured Hands: Fairy Embroidery and the Ambiguous Vocabulary of Medieval Textile Decoration," by Sarah-Grace Heller "Failed Censures: Ecclesiastical Regulation of Women's Clothing in Late Medieval Italy," by Thomas M. Izbicki "Cutting a Fine Figure: Costume on French Gothic Ivories," by Paula Mae Carns "One Quilt or Two? A Reassessment of the Guicciardini Quilts in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Museo del Bargello," by Sarah Randles "French Hoods: Development of a Sixteenth-Century Court Fashion," by Melanie Schuessler "Who Was Cesare Vecellio? Placing Habiti Antichi in Context," by Tawny Sherrill ...as well as reviews of recent books on medieval dress and textiles. You can order through the publisher, here: http://www.boydell.co.uk/43834510.HTM or through the usual online sources. Right now it looks like Barnes and Noble has the best price, but that tends to vary over time, so it's worth checking around. Also, people attending the Medieval Congress at Kalamazoo can get it there at a substantial discount. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
