reasie's review against another edition
3.0
I really enjoyed the first section, and parts of the rest... it's more literary criticism than history, and as someone primarily interested in this case in historical dress, not literary symbolism as interpreted by a post-modern mind, well, I was unable to give four stars.
Still, good book, and it led me to other sources, and back to my French Lais, looking for traces of 12th century dress.
