註釋
This book explores the sumptuary laws that regulated conspicuous consumption in respect to dress, ornaments, and food that were widespread in late medieval and early modern Europe. It argues that sumptuary laws were attempts to stabilize social recognizability in the urban world of strangers' and in the governance of cities. The gendered character of sumptuary laws are viewed as components of gender wars'.
