Announcing a conference on Greensleeves at the Society of Antiquaries on Friday 4 July.
This interdisciplinary conference takes the iconic sixteenth century ballad Greensleeves as a focal point through which to explore the interconnections of texts, textiles and material culture in early modern England. Speakers will be looking at the representations of clothing, fabric and food in the ballad: and will also be examining the literary, social, musical and historical context of the song.
There will also be a chance to view the reconstructed garments, and to listen to a short concert of 16th Century music related to Greensleeves.
You can attend in person or online.
