Textiles

de Catherine Harper

Textile culture stretches geographic, historical, methodological and disciplinary boundaries, and defies chronological ordering. The contents are therefore gathered into four thematic collections dealing with history and curation; production and sustainability; science and technology; and identity, each supported by an introductory editorial essay that serves to critique and supplement each textual collection and theme. "Textiles. Critical and primary sources" is a major multi-volume reference work that draws together 80 seminal texts on textiles.
