Iris Brooke9 editions

The author describes and displays the intricacies and extravagances of the Sixteenth Century, through the reigns of Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth I. Besides the costumes of the nobility and merchants, the dress of the common people is illustrated and described. There are comments on domestic and social life, and such legitimate branches of the subject such as comestics and perfumes. Those who seek information on costume-writers, artists, actors, and producers-will welcome this compact account of the development and detail of the dress of all classes in Shakespeare's England.
