Abstract
The phenomena text and textiles are intertwined in manifold ways. These include, but go far beyond contingent similarities on an etymological or mythological level, pointing to a wide range of textile metaphors in the literary theory of text and style, as revealed in poetological auto-reflections in works as diverse as medieval French troubadour songs and contemporary Russian poetry. Erika Greber’s comparative study offers a systematic presentation of this complex topic, considering also concomitant aspects of cultural anthropology. This article examines Greber’s seminal book from a medievalist’s perspective.
