Making iron, producing space! How coerced work defined a Swedish early modern ironmaking region
Swedish ironmaking took place in mines, forests and rationally structured ironmaking communities (bruk), merging different forms of labour and coercion, wage labour, household labour and corvée labour often in the form of transport duties, as well as leases paid in kind. The aim is to analyse this diverse structure from an angle of motion, movement and mobility, and see how subordinated ironmaking artisanal and peasant households set the limits f…
Improving Swedish Steelmaking
This article explores the multicentered processes that transformed artisanal metalworking in early modern Europe. It does so through an in-depth analysis of the attempts to improve steelmaking in eighteenth-century Sweden. Scholarship has traditionally focused on progress in the British steel industry, but the quest for improvement in Sweden's expanding steel sector, integrating various forms of cross-border mobility, illustrates a more spatially…

Globalized Peripheries
Globalized Peripheries examines the commodity flows and financial ties within Central and Eastern Europe in order to situate these regions as important contributors to Atlantic trade networks. The early modern Atlantic world, with its flows of bullion, of free and unfree labourers, of colonial produce and of manufactures from Europe and Asia, with mercantile networks and rent-seeking capital, has to date been describedalmost entirely as the prese…

Voyage Iron
An array of goods was traded to Africa in the era of the transatlantic slave trade. Many were eye-catching consumer goods; others were far more mundane, including ‘voyage iron’, a metal forged in northern Europe, bars of which acted as a currency along the West African coast. This article examines the geography of voyage iron production, showing that it originated in places – primarily Sweden – that are not often thought of as being connected to …

Viewing and Walking
During the eighteenth century, London became the largest city in Europe and attracted many foreign visitors, and the task here is to analyze a set of Swedish travelers. Sweden was a predominately rural country, but urban development was an integrated aspect of its mercantilist policy; towns were the outcome of an active state promoting trade. With such an intellectual background, the Swedes going to Britain viewed London accordingly, as seen from…
The Enlightenment in Practice
Ever since the publication of the Encyclopédie, in the decades after mid-eighteenth century, there has been an on-going debate about the implications of the metaphor of enlightenment, mainly based on themes discussed in Diderot's and d'Alembert's work. Sadly, however, one major field has been left outside; scholars have dealt with two branches of the tree of knowledge, science and the liberal arts, but ignored the branch of mechanical arts. This …
Baltic Iron in the Atlantic World in the Eighteenth Century
Baltic Iron in the Atlantic World in the Eighteenth Century
The eighteenth century is often viewed as the heroic age of the British iron industry - a time of triumphant technological progress. In fact, it was an age of thwarted ambition, when the take-up of new technologies proved frustratingly slow. The eighteenth century was more accurately the age of Baltic iron. Swedish and Russian iron surged onto the British market, meeting the demand that British ironmasters could not satisfy. This was of epochal i…
Upheaval
Baltic iron and the British iron industry in the eighteenth century
Before the revolution in coal technology that swept the British iron industry in the last years of the eighteenth century, native ironmasters were unable to meet the burgeoning demand for malleable bar iron. The shortfall was made good by imports of bar iron from the Baltic, first from Sweden, then from Russia. This article presents new empirical evidence on the role played by Baltic iron in the Georgian economy. It also considers the impact of S…
Connecticut's Ames Iron Works
In this book we are presented with the story of the Ames Iron Works and its manager-owner Horatio Ames from the early 1830s until the early 1870s. One can distinguish three phases in the history of the Ames Works. Its first decade was marked by many problems with technology, labor, and markets. The technology chosen was puddling, but, lacking coal, the furnaces were fired with wood. Skilled artisans had to be recruited, and the authors write that…
Iron-Making Societies
Kinship and the Transmission of Skills
This major new book contains contributions by many of the leading historians of technology. The contributors argue that culture, institutions and learning either made the way for, or blocked technological and industrial transformation. Their essays include broad comparative frameworks between Europe and Asia, and Europe and America, and treat the specific experiences of Britain, France, Holland and Scandinavia. Themes addressed include cultures o…
Skill and Technical Change in the Swedish Iron Industry, 1750-1860
Iron production and the household as a production unit in nineteenth-century Sweden
Cet article envisage les ménages au travail. Le ménage comme unité de production est traité dans le cadre d'un modele théorique à partir de l'exemple des familles de fondeurs du Gästrikland (Suède), observées au cours de la première moitié du XIXe siècle. L'objectif de ce travail est de comprendre comment la production du fer en barres par des artisans spécialisés au sein d'ateliers centralisés s'est éloignée graduellement de la sphère familiale.…
