The codpiece was fashioned in the Middle Ages to close a revealing gap between two separate pieces of men's tights. By the sixteenth century, it had become an upscale must-have accessory. This light-hearted, illustrated examination of its history pulls in writers from Rabelais to Shakespeare and figures from Henry VIII to Alice Cooper. Glover's witty and entertaining prose reveals how male vanity turned a piece of cloth into a bulging and absurd representation of masculinity itself. The codpiece, painted again and again by masters such as Titian, Holbein, Giorgione, and Bruegel, became a symbol of royalty, debauchery, virility, and religious seriousness-all in one. Never has a piece of clothing revealed so much about men only by hiding their private parts. Glover's book moves from paintings to contemporary culture and back again as it charts the growing popularity of the codpiece and its eventual decline. The first history of its kind, this book is a must-read for art historians, anthropologists, fashion aficionados, and readers looking for a good, long laugh. Centuries of male self-importance and delusion are on display in this highly enjoyably new title. 650 0 $a Men's clothing $x History. 650 0 $a Men's clothing $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Men's clothing $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Clothing and dress in art $x History. 650 0 $a Masculinity $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Men's underwear $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a Clothing and dress in art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01199302 650 7 $a Men's clothing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01016068 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Ekphrasis (New York, N.Y.) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317022037.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC207FD468DD11EA9C5A9E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
