Item Number: 131549 Title: Estudios sobre indumentaria española en la época de los Austrias Author: Herrero Garcia, Miguel Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788415245391 Description: Madrid: CEEH Centro de Estudios Europa Hispánica, 2014. 25cm., pbk., 392pp., 105 illus., most in color. Spanish text. Summary: This book features seventy-three studies, each on a Spanish garment of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and mostly illustrated with examples preserved in various Spanish and foreign museums. The realism of the literary texts by Spanish authors belonging to a wide range of genres ranging from theatre to catechistics, backed by an analysis of numerous documents – both public (records of parliamentary proceedings, guild ordinances, record books of judges of the Royal Household and Court) and private (inventories, wills, letters of dowry, etc.) – allows a faithful and thorough reconstruction to be made of a very substantial part of the costume of the period. The evolving trends in fashion provide an insight into social, religious and political conflicts, international tensions and the particular understanding of life that characterised the Spanish Baroque. Despite the fragmentary nature of the work, it makes a fundamental contribution to the ‘intrahistory’ of the Golden Age. We regret to inform you that this title is no longer available. P.O.
