- In addition to her essay in this volume (pp. 176-90), Robertson co-edited the volume and co-authored the introduction. The volume comprises expanded versions of twelve papers selected from the thirty-six presented at the symposium ‘Emblems and Enigma: The Heraldic Imagination’ at the Society of Antiquaries of London in 2014. Robertson initiated and co-organised this symposium, wrote the call for papers and set out the themes for panel discussion, and afterwards identified the theme of heraldic ‘display’ for a selection of essays. The editors shared the tasks of editorial correspondence with each author, advised on revisions, undertook secondary copy-editing and proof-reading, and worked with contributors and copyright holders to ensure that all necessary permissions were granted for the reproduction of images and archival materials. The range of essays in terms of historical period and expertise of contributor – heralds, curators, cultural and art/architectural historians, literary scholars – reflects Robertson’s original conception of the range of the topic (from her CFP: ‘Proliferating and arcane, unique, ubiquitous, and inscrutable, the heraldic has been a major presence across the arts since medieval times; yet it remains, culturally and critically, enigmatic. […] Papers should address ‘any aspect of the employment and perception of the heraldic in literature, history, art, architecture, design, fashion, and contemporary and historical practice’). The co-editors also secured small-grant funding for the symposium and the edited volume from the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, setting out in both applications the research range and significance of the project.
