Synopsis

A fresh look at a textile revolution: how the shoddy trade rose, spread, and shaped markets worldwide.

The book traces the rise, progress, and present position of the shoddy manufacture. It explains how combining rag-wool with sheep’s wool creates affordable cloth, and it weighs both the criticisms and the economic benefits of this trade. You’ll see how the industry grew from a small beginning into a major market force, influencing wages, employment, and regional manufacturing centers.

Written to be clear and even‑handed, the work surveys the key stages, machinery, and practices behind the fabric you’ve heard about — from mule spindles and power looms to milling and dyeing — and it maps the geographic spread across Batley, Dewsbury, Elland, and surrounding towns. It also considers the public debate and the trade’s role in national wealth and industry.

• How the core idea of shoddy and its use with wool developed and why it matters.
• Overview of the main machines and processes that drive production.
• Profiles of places and regions central to the trade and their distinct outputs.
• Insights into wages, labor dynamics, and the trade’s economic impact.

Ideal for readers of industrial history, textile trades, and economic development, especially those seeking a grounded view of early shoddy manufacture and its lasting influence.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The work, though necessarily incomplete from want of data, and faulty as a composition from the writers inexperience as an author, will, it is hoped, supply in some measure the void in literature, and the want of any book of reference, as regards the shoddy-trade ;and serve as the basis of a better treatise o Hthe subject, on the part of some one more competent to the task, and possessing leisure to devote to the undertaking. Batley, July,
