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.

Analyzes the relationship between twelfth-century French material culture, especially with regard to attire and personal adornment, and the compositional and narrative techniques used in the emerging genre of courtly verse romance.
