Book Description
his study analyzes textiles as texts-within-a-text in the Lais of Marie de France. This analysis is unique in that it considers textiles in the whole corpus of Marie’s Lais, and establishes them as a coherent secondary signifying system, thematically relating to violence, physical healing, nurturing, etc. and showing the more subtle, delicate intricacies of the work.
