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.

Excerpt from The Early History of the English Woollen Industry The following essay has grown out of a paper read before the Oxford Economic Society in the J annary of this year. It deals with a strictly limited sub ject it does not, save incidentally, touch the history of the raw material, its production, quality and price; nor that of the finished article after it has passed into the hands of the dealers. It is with the inter mediate stages that we are here concerned - the posi tion, organization, relations among themselves, of those actually engaged in the manufacture.
