Summary:
Textile culture stretches geographic, historical, methodological and disciplinary boundaries, and defies chronological ordering. The contents are therefore gathered into four thematic collections dealing with history and curation; production and sustainability; science and technology; and identity, each supported by an introductory editorial essay that serves to critique and supplement each textual collection and theme. "Textiles. Critical and primary sources" is a major multi-volume reference work that draws together 80 seminal texts on textiles.
