It offers the opportunity to explore fashion during the High to Late Middle Ages (1200-1500) through investigating period art, literature and surviving textiles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course is aimed at anyone with an interest in Medieval dress, may this be because of art history, historical fiction, or the making of Medieval costumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course is taught online using Zoom and takes place over 10 weeks, involving a 2 hour online seminar each week. Typically, a session will comprise a lecture, activities, and class discussions. It is supported by vast online resources, including recommended and further reading, and curated links to a plethora of primary and secondary sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The course is designed around three major themes, which means we engage with visual and textual sources from the period, and investigate extant textiles and surviving dress. This allows us to follow the development of dress and fashion, and to study construction, techniques, patterns, embellishments, and of course the socio-cultural historical context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>This semester the course will take place on Thursday evenings, 18:00-20:00 UK time, and starts on 23rd September 2021.
