A detailed study of Ipswich at a time of great growth and
prosperity, highlighting the activities of its industries,
merchants and craftsmen. Ipswich in the late Middle Ages was a
flourishing town. A wide range of commodities passed through its
port, to and from far-flung markets, bought and sold by merchants
from diverse backgrounds, and carried in ships whose design evolved
during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Its trading
partners, both domestic and overseas, changed in response to
developments in the international, national and local economy, as
did the occupations of its craftsmen,with textile, leather and
metal industries were of particular importance. However, despite
its importance, and the richness of its medieval archives, the
story of Ipswich at the time has been sadly neglected. This is a
gap whichthe author here aims to remedy. His careful study allows a
detailed picture of urban life to emerge, shedding new light not
only on the borough itself, but on towns more generally at a
crucial point in their development, at a period of growing
affluence when ordinary people enjoyed an unprecedented rise in
standards of living, and the benefits of what might be termed our
first consumer revolution. Nicholas Amor gained his doctorate from
the University of East Anglia.
