Textiles: Critical and Primary Sources is a major multi-volume reference work that draws together 80 seminal texts on textiles.
�
Textile culture stretches geographic, historical, methodological and disciplinary boundaries, and defies chronological ordering. The contents are therefore gathered into four thematic
collections dealing with history and curation; production and sustainability; science and technology; and identity, each supported by an introductory editorial essay that serves to critique
and supplement each textual collection and theme.

Textiles: Critical and Primary Sources is a key scholarly resource for any researchers involved in the study of textiles, as well as associated subjects, including studies in dress,
costume and fashion; feminism and gender; art, design and cultural history; and sociology and anthropology.
