Title: Courtly Love Undressed. 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.
