We tend to think of Jane Austen's muslin dresses, cravats and cotton nighties as quintessentially English products. But in fact the British textile industry is a product as much of the East as of the West.
Jenny Balfour-Paul from the University of Exeter and Rosemary Crill from the V & A join Sheila to explore India's influence on England's fabric, dyes and fashion.
Jenny Balfour-Paul, Indigo, published by British Museum Press; ISBN: 0714125504
