Woven into the Urban Fabric. Cloth Manufacture and Economic Development in the Flemish West-Quarter (1300-1600)
Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 251 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:15 b/w, 13 tables b/w., 1 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9782503594552.
¶ Summary This regional study focuses on the socio-economic development of the so-called West-Quarter of the county of Flanders during the period 1300-1600. Through the expansion of potent textile industries in the countryside from the fourteenth century onwards, this region gradually attained distinctly 'urban' characteristics in terms of production scale, specialisation, product quality, and the aim for external markets. By the middle of the sixteenth century the West-Quarter had even become one of Flanders's main production regions of woolen cloth. This book assesses how and why this economic expansion took place, why it happened at that particular moment, and why in this region. The broader aims of the research are twofold: first, to offer a contribution to the debate on Europe's transition from a 'feudal' to a 'capitalist' or market economy by looking at the influence of specific social structures and institutional frameworks on the economic development of pre-industrial societies. Secondly, this book contributes to the debate about the divide between town and countryside in pre-industrial Europe, combining the outlooks and methods of both urban and rural historians in order to qualify this supposed dichotomy.

The main output was a book published in 1981, but the Working Party felt that these reports justified being published in their own right. A significant and stimulating resource at a point where policy directions at a national level were about to shift decisively. [Heavy item, will require additional postage to most destinations]
