| Publisher Description: This is the first edited collection that examines the significant role of sartorial politics for elite women at a range of early modern courts. This book demonstrates how clothing and jewelry was skillfully staged to showcase dynastic importance, to highlight loyalty to the martial court and to advance diplomacy. Covering women at courts from Scandinavia to England, France, Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain, this volume presents the latest research by emerging and established scholars working from a range of disciplinary perspectives: as historians, art historians and literary scholars. |
