Abstract
An up-to-date comparative history of the British and American cotton industries is long overdue, and that need has now been filled by Mary Rose, a senior lecturer in business history at the University of Lancaster. Rose brings to this project considerable expertise on the cotton industry of the northwest England (see, for example, The Lancashire Cotton Industry: A History Since 1700 [Preston, 1996], which she edited and to which she contributed). That she has also read deeply in the literature on the United States cotton industry is apparent not only in her five-hundred-item bibliography but also in her insightful discussions of American developments in every chapter of this book.
