TEXTILES Critical <strong>and</strong> Primary Sources, Edited by Catherine Harper, (Berg Publishing, <strong>2012</strong>)<br />
<strong>Textile</strong>s: Critical <strong>and</strong> Primary Sources is a major multi-volume reference work that draws together 80<br />
seminal texts on textiles. <strong>Textile</strong> culture stretches geographic, historical, methodological <strong>and</strong><br />
disciplinary boundaries, <strong>and</strong> defies chronological ordering. The contents are therefore gathered into<br />
four thematic collections dealing with history <strong>and</strong> curation; production <strong>and</strong> sustainability; science<br />
<strong>and</strong> technology; <strong>and</strong> identity, each supported by an introductory editorial essay that serves to<br />
critique <strong>and</strong> supplement each textual collection <strong>and</strong> theme.<br />
