This collection offers the first systematic global and comparative history of textile workers over the course of 350 years. This period covers the major changes in wool and cotton production, and the global picture from before the Industrial Revolution through to the twentieth century.

As such this collection will be welcomed by all scholars engaged in the history of the textile industry and international trade.
