{"product_id":"clothed-body-in-the-ancient-world","title":"Clothed Body in the Ancient World","description":"The recent renaissance of interest in the history of dress and  its cultural importance is celebrated in this collection of  interdisciplinary essays. The sixteen contributors present  on-going research into the study of the clothed body in ancient  Egypt and the Aegean, Classical Greece, Rome and Late Antiquity.  Through literary and artistic evidence and film, they discuss how  dress articulates and defines an individual within his or her  given society, at the same time highlighting common themes in scholarship, methodological differences between disciplines and  periods, as well as contrasting definitions of what constitutes  the clothed body. Essays discussing Aegean Bronze Age fashions,  costume design in filmed biblical epics, clothing in Aristophanic  comedy, Greek and Roman female undergarments, the symbolism of  the Roman toga, and the spectacle of images of Byzantine dress,  are just some of the diverse subjects covered in this study.","brand":"Oxbow Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54233354699096,"sku":"9781842171653","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781842171653.jpg?v=1777232725","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/clothed-body-in-the-ancient-world","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
