Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The new 35 volume "Clothing of Common People in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England (1558-1660)" series is by far the most detailed and all embracing study of the costume of the normal people of England so far undertaken for the period of Elizabeth, Shakespeare and the English Civil War. It draws on the study of surviving garments, paintings, plasterwork, over 18,000 wills and inventories and over 71,000 pre-1660 books and pamphlets. It rigorously examines and justifies whether the original evidence is trustworthy before moving on to analyse the nature of the clothes and how to construct replicas"--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: The analysis of silk is a fascinating topic for research in itself but here, focusing on the 9th and 10th centuries, Marianne Vedeler takes a closer look at the trade routes and the organization of production, trade and consumption of silk during the Viking Age. Beginning with a presentation of the silk finds in the Oseberg burial, the richest Viking burial find ever discovered, the other silk finds from high status graves in Scandinavia are discussed along with an introduction to the techniques used to produce raw silk and fabrics. Later chapters concentrate on trade and exchange, considering the role of silk items both as trade objects and precious gifts, and in the light of coin finds. The main trade routes of silk to Scandinavia along the Russian rivers, and comparable Russian finds are described and the production and regulation of silk in Persia, early Islamic production areas and the Byzantine Empire discussed. The final chapter considers silk as a social actor in various contexts in Viking societies compared to the Christian west.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Complete Dictionary of Dry Goods and History of Silk, Cotton, Linen, Wool and Other Fibrous Substances In presenting to the Dry Goods Trade its first Dictionary of textile fabrics the compiler feels confident that the time and labor devoted to making the work accurate and complete will commend it to the favorable consideration of everyone connected with the business. The objects held in view during its preparation were briefly these: 1. To give the proper definition and description of every woven fabric and manufactured article sold over Dry Goods or Clothing counters; 2. To note the peculiarities which distinguish a fabric, and by which it may be identified, and to give such facts in a hand) and convenient form for reference; 3. To describe fully the method of weaving or manufacture; 4. To explain the origin of the names of all fabrics, and to clothe the dry bones of figures and statements with the literature of the subject; 5. To give the import duties under the new textile schedules on all goods that are imported, raw and manufactured. No labor or expense has been spared to make the Dictionary serve the purposes for which it is designed; the statements and figures which are presented are given only on the faith of recognized authorities, and in reducing the chaos of particulars relating to the history of textile fabrics strict and careful attention has been paid to accuracy. It is remarkable that in a country like ours, so greatly dependent upon its manufactures, that not even a classification of the kinds of our textile manufactures has ever been attempted, to say nothing of a systematic history of them.
