They continue, even today, to spark our curiosity and imagination. Their enduring popularity is no doubt partly due to the iconic portraits in which they are depicted in magnificent style, in farthingales and ruffs, furs and jewels, codpieces and cloaks, and vast expanses of velvet and silk. Far from being mere decoration, fashion was pivotal in the communication of status and power. It was used as a tool in securing and holding the tenuous Tudor throne and as a competitive weapon in the factions, intrigues and love-affairs of the court. This book presents new information about the fashions of the Tudor dynasty, offering fresh insight into their social and political milieu. Histories of Kings and Queens complement stories of unsung dressmakers, laundresses, and officials charged with maintaining and transporting the immense Tudor wardrobes from palace to palace. Evidence from rare surviving garments and textiles, original documents, fine and decorative art, and archaeological findings enhance our understanding of the Tudors and their courts. Handsomely illustrated, this sumptuous book contextualises Tudor dress within the buildings in which it was worn and fills in gaps in our knowledge of the period and its fascinating historical figures."--Publisher's description. 600 30 $a Tudor, House of. 650 0 $a Clothing and dress $z England $x History. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y Tudors, 1485-1603. 610 24 $a Tudor (House of) 648 7 $a 1485-1603 $2 fast 941 $a 4 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022534.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190305054354.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190129010617.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20181005010707.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8CCF5D8E961911E8A89F3E0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
