Clothing was used in the Middle Ages to mark religious, military, and chivalric orders, lepers, and prostitutes. Burns reads through clothes in lyric, romance, and didactic literary works, vernacular sermons, and sumptuary laws to show how courtly attire is used to negotiate desire, sexuality, and symbolic space as well as social class.
