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.
