Clothing figured prominently in twelfth-century France, where exotic fabrics and furs came to define a social elite. This interdisciplinary book explores how writers of this era used clothing as a signifier with multiple meanings for many narrative purposes. It shows that representations of clothing are not mere embellishments to the text.
