In this book, Brenda M. King challenges the notion that Britain
always exploited its empire. Creativity, innovation and
entrepreneurship were all part of the Anglo-Indian silk trade and
were nurtured in the era of empire through mutually beneficial
collaboration. The trade operated within and without the empire,
according to its own dictates and prospered in the face of
increasing competition from China and Japan. King presents a new
picture of the trade, where the strong links between Indian
designs, the English silk industry and prominent members of the
English the arts and crafts movement led to the production of
beautiful and luxurious textiles. Lavishly illustrated, this book
will be of interest to those interested in the relationship between
the British Empire and the Indian subcontinent, as well as by
historians of textiles and fashion. -- .
