Volume II: Textiles and Dress is the first of three volumes of commentary to be published. This volume focuses on Henry VIII's collection of textiles and tapestries, which was one of the finest in Europe, reflecting Henry's vision of his standing in the world and the enormous resources he could command. Among the subjects covered in the volume are the lavish tents that provided the settings for court entertainments and the costumes worn by the revellers and players; an account of the Great Wardrobe, which served as a warehouse for the King's large and valuable stores of textiles, and a study of the vestments and textiles associated with the rituals of courtly worship. Altogether, the essays in this volume combine the histories of material culture, religion, politics and ceremony in a unique wav that would not have been possible before the establishment of the Inventory Project twenty years ago.
