This volume brings together nineteen significant articles on the
role of textile industries in the Industrial Revolutions of
Britain, Europe, Japan, and the United States. In his introduction,
the editor surveys the contribution the textile industries have
made to economic change.
Textiles have played a major role in industrial transition.
Traditional notions of industrial revolutions have, to a great
extent, been built on interpretation of changes in the textile
industries and the broader implications of these changes for
society. The "heroic" advances in textile technology have been used
as benchmark dates in the chronology of industrialization, and
theories of industrialization and development have often depended
on the models provided by the experiences of these trades.
