Industry in the Countryside explores the nature of manufacturing before the Industrial Revolution. It is a wide ranging study of the Kentish Weald - a region where woollen textiles were produced by outworkers in their own cottages, on behalf of capitalist entrepreneurs. Zell asks the question, is there anything in the 'proto- industrialisation' model?
