Association"
"Winner of the R.L. Shep Memorial Book Award, Textile Society of

"[The Art of Cloth in Mughal India] maps a history of a specific
art form while offering a multilayered methodological corrective to
the field of art history. . . . [This book] is a crucial,
multidisciplinary addition to the field that combines art and
architectural history with explorations into comparative
literature, botany, and the history of trade."---Murad Khan Mumtaz,
caa.reviews
"Drawing on a superb range of material . . . Houghteling weaves a
lively and comprehensive tale of the production, circulation and
sensory experience of textiles during the age of the Great Mughals
(155-1700). . . . A remarkable aesthetic sensitivity permeates her
erudite research in this superb account of the lives and meanings
of Mughal textiles."---Emily Hannam, World of Interiors
"Houghteling compels us to rethink the history and historiography
of textiles from the subcontinent through methodological forays
that engage recent debates on global/local binaries, ecology and
the environment, sensorial histories, artisanal practices, and
commodity cultures, among other themes. . . . What emerges from
this insightful study . . . is a dazzling social, cultural,
political, and aesthetic history of textiles. Lavishly illustrated
and exquisitely produced, The Art of Cloth in Mughal India will
undoubtedly become a major landmark in the field of early modern
art history."---Sugata Ray, West 86th
