Rather than a merely biographical or celebratory work, this history of a medieval chivalric order offers a history of medievalism itself, which ingeniously reveals how the slipperiness of the Order's motto allows it to function as a touchstone for each epoch's world view. The motto recalls a moment whose meaning was transformed by a king's words, but the words themselves would take on new and varied meanings in the centuries to come. And like the Order's motto, Stephanie Trigg's book urges us to be aware of what our attitudes towards medieval alterity reveal about ourselves.\" * \u003ci\u003eTimes Literary Supplement\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\"Because of its theoretical expansiveness, Trigg's invaluable contribution to the history of the Garter should prove of interest to scholars with a wide range of interests, and demonstrates that the still-developing fields of ritual criticism and medievalism studies have much to offer one another.\" * \u003ci\u003eComitatus\u003c\/i\u003e *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e PART I.
