Greensleeves: Text and Textiles in Early Modern English Culture
Society of Antiquaries of London Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, United KingdomThis interdisciplinary conference takes the iconic sixteenth century ballad Greensleeves as a focal point through which to explore the interconnections of texts, textiles and material culture in early modern England. Speakers will be looking at the representations of costume in the ballad: petticoats, silk, stockings, and will also be thinking about the song as poetic text in relation to classical lyric and the genre of erotic complaint.
