The English Woollen Industry, c.1200-c.1560 Routledge Research in Early Modern History Series
Auteur : Oldland John
This is the first book to describe the early English woollens? industry and its dominance of the trade in quality cloth across Europe by the mid-sixteenth century, as English trade was transformed from dependence on wool to value-added woollen cloth. It compares English and continental draperies, weighs the advantages of urban and rural production, and examines both quality and coarse cloths. Rural clothiers who made broadcloth to a consistent high quality at relatively low cost, Merchant Adventurers who enjoyed a trade monopoly with the Low Countries, and Antwerp?s artisans who finished cloth to customers? needs all eventually combined to make English woollens unbeatable on the continent.
