"If the costume of a period is, as Mr. James Laver suggests, the mirror of the soul, there are several interesting reflections in the costume of the 14th and 15th centuries. This book's aim is to select interesting and popular garments, headdrresses, footwear, and details of costume of the period. A great deal of thought and time has been expended on a selection of drawings which will give a maximum of information to the student with limited hours at his disposal and only a slight knowledge of costume." - from Foreword.
