Through its exploration of the intersections between the culture of
the wool broadcloth industry and the literature of the early modern
period, this study contributes to the expanding field of material
studies in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. The author
argues that it is impossible to comprehend the development of
emerging English nationalism during that time period, without
considering the culture of the cloth industry. She shows that,
reaching far beyond its status as a commodity of production and
exchange, that industry was also a locus for organizing sentiments
of national solidarity across social and economic divisions.
Hentschell looks to textual productions-both imaginative and
non-fiction works that often treat the cloth industry with mythic
importance-to help explain how cloth came to be a catalyst for
nationalism. Each chapter ties a particular mode, such as pastoral,
prose romance, travel propaganda, satire, and drama, with a
specific issue of the cloth industry, demonstrating the distinct
work different literary genres contributed to what the author terms
the 'culture of cloth'.
