Description
Describes several historical and literary representations of the clothing and ornaments of late-medieval processional "women in groups," commenting on Chaucer's depictions in his works, and focusing on depictions in "The Floure and the Leafe" and in "The Assembly of Ladies," particularly as they express "individuation" or "collective court identity."
