Costume and Fashion, Volume Two: Senlac to Bosworth 1066-1485 is a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of English attire during the Middle Ages. Written by Herbert Norris, this volume meticulously documents the evolution of dress from the Norman Conquest to the end of the Plantagenet dynasty. It serves as an essential reference for historians, artists, and costume designers interested in the visual culture of medieval England.
The work provides a detailed chronological account of how social status, trade, and cultural shifts influenced the garments of both the nobility and the common folk. Norris examines various elements of fashion, including tunics, robes, headwear, and accessories, supported by extensive research into contemporary sources. By tracing the development of style from the Battle of Hastings to the Battle of Bosworth Field, the book illustrates the transition from Romanesque simplicity to the intricate and flamboyant styles of the late Gothic period.
With its focus on historical accuracy and aesthetic detail, Costume and Fashion, Volume Two remains a seminal text in the study of historical dress. It captures the spirit of the age through its analysis of fabric, color, and silhouette, offering a vivid window into the daily life and pageantry of the medieval world.
