Abstract
This book offers an account of the inland and foreign trade of East Anglian ports, from King's Lynn to Ipswich, during the reign of Elizabeth I. Drawing on state papers, customs documents and other original sources, it gives a general picture of the economic life of the region. The survey is not confined to general statements, statistical tables or movements of commodities, but includes sketches of individual merchants, pirates and smugglers. The author argues that the significance of provincial trade at this time has been undervalued in comparison with that of London, and that the East coast ports have been neglected by historians in comparison with those of the West Country. The author was winner of the Royal Historical Society's Whitfield Prize.
