The golden age of English embroidery coincided with successive waves of religious reform, the beginning of "the scientific revolution," late humanism, and the diffusion of printed texts and literacy. Yet needlework is often regarded as a uniquely feminine and domestic practice isolated from these broader cultural movements. This lecture reinterprets a famous set of embroideries jointly produced by Mary Queen of Scots and Bess of Hardwick, alongside related examples, demonstrating the ways in which the needle arts supported women's reading of religious, classical, and scientific texts during a pivotal phase in history. The needle emerges as a tool of understanding, and decorative furnishings as material manifestations of thought.
The Mary Ann Butterfield Memorial Lecture.
