Gale R. Owen-Crocker is Professor Emerita of The University of Manchester, UK. She has published extensively on early medieval culture, especially dress and textiles.
New material has contributed not only new examples but also deeper
insights to this edition.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*
This new version is doubly welcome, both as a largely intact
reappearance of a valued text and a very substantial and deftly
added text of totally new material.. Justif[ies] totally the term
`encyclopaedic'... This most valuable up-dating is long likely to
be an invaluable tool for historians of Medieval costume and
[those] who have practical interests related to it.
*MEDIEVAL DRESS & TEXTILE SOCIETY NEWSLETTER*
A well-documented and clearly organized source for all aspects of
medieval clothing. [...]a perfect companion for both the serious
scholar of period dress and...enthusiasts who desire to wear
historically authentic garments.
*RENAISSANCE MAGAZINE [US].*
Splendid...the major overview of Anglo-Saxon clothing and textile
from the 5th to 11th centuries. [...] Owen-Crocker has become the
authority reconstructors call upon... A wise and scholarly book.
