"Greene traces the mysterious motif across time, place, and culture. Basing his study on a ""disguising"" performed in 1501 at the court of Henry VII, he moves backward in time to the early medieval chronicle of Cosmas of Prague, a staged game in 12c. Treviso, the Roman de la Rose, and 14c. English manuscript illuminations and French ivory caskets, along with other texts and materials. Greene also examines early modern versions of this protean theme: in a Flemish tapestry, in festivities at the court of Henry VII, in Spenser, and in a mock-siege centering on Elizabeth I. Each instance of the motif, like the entire series of representations, poses questions about sexual politics and control."
