商品簡介
Though steam-powered weaving technology made steady inroads in Ireland between the end of the Famine and the outbreak of The Great War, says James (history, U. of Guelph, Canada) some Irish linen weavers remained at the handloom half a century after the introduction of steam. His goal is to integrate those hand weavers within the history of rural Irish labor, focusing on the northern province where the linen industry was centered. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
