The arras in particular provided a narrative model for writers such as Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare, who exploited their audiences familiarity with weaving to engage them in highly idiosyncratic and hands on ways. Specifically, undescribed or blank tapestries in the periods fiction presented audiences with opportunities to see whatever they desired, and thus weave themselves into the story.
