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 importance: Swedish iron allowed British steel makers and hardware manufacturers to dominate Atlantic markets. In turn, the rhythms of Atlantic commerce resounded through peasant communities in Sweden. Baltic iron in the Atlantic world captures this moment. In doing so it internationalises Swedish history in a radical way and presses an oceanic perspective on the traditionally insular view of the rise of heavy industry in Britain. 410 0$aAtlantic world (Leiden, Netherlands) ;$vv. 13. 606 $aIron industry and trade$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aIron industry and trade$zSweden$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aIron industry and trade$zRussia$xHistory$y18th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIron industry and trade$xHistory 615 0$aIron industry and trade$xHistory 615 0$aIron industry and trade$xHistory 676 $a382/.42309485 700 $aEvans$b Chris$f1961-$0967217 701 $aRyde?n$b Go?ran$0967218 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453278603321 996 $aBaltic iron in the Atlantic world in the eighteenth century$92195729 997 $aUNINA
