This collection of original essays is a tribute to Charles Wilson,
Emeritus Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge
and Fellow of Jesus College. They have been written by friends,
colleagues and former students to honour him on his seventieth
birthday. Running through the essays is the theme of enterprise in
history and especially in the two fields in which Charles Wilson
has been pre-eminent: business history and the economic relations
of England and the Netherlands. As is appropriate for an historian
with such international interests, the essays cover a wide field.
They include contributions from a number of distinguished economic
historians in continental Europe and the USA, as well as essays by
several well-known British historians on different aspects of
enterprise, including the Industrial Revolution, in Britain. The
volume thus presents a comprehensive set of studies of diverse
examples of the forms, consequences and interpretations of economic
enterprise in history. It will thus be of substantial interest not
only to business historians but also to a broad range of economic
historians.
