Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Handsome design, generous illustration and well-communicated content.”—David Wilcox,
Costume“In this excellent book . . . Hayward departs from previous scholarship to focus specifically on the Stuart kings. This technique allows her to illustrate the distinct differences of Scottish fashions, which otherwise might become lost in an overall British perspective.”—Michael Ballard Ramsey,
Journal of Dress History“[Hayward] has found an amazing wealth of information on all topics relating to clothing and textiles. . . . She writes with clarity and a firm grasp of her sources. This is a book to be enjoyed by both the scholar and the lay reader, and the illustrations are wonderful, many of the paintings never before used in any book.”—Naomi E A Tarrant,
Costume“This lively account, deeply researched and full of rich visual and material references, is a welcome addition to Stuart scholarship, and sets the standard for work on cultural and political histories of dress.”—Sophie Pitman,
