Making the global local? Overseas goods in English rural shops, c.1600–1760
基于英格兰四个郡36个村庄的遗嘱清单，研究17-18世纪乡村商店中海外商品的供应变化，发现殖民杂货和印度纺织品早在17世纪初就已出现，但供应和重要性差异很大，表明乡村消费者早已融入消费变革主流。
This article draws on probate inventories from 36 villages in four counties to examine the shifting place of overseas goods in the stock of English rural shops. It shows that a range of colonial groceries and Indian textiles were to be found in village shops from the early-seventeenth century, but that their availability varied considerably, as did their relative to the retail business. Whilst they rarely appear to have underpinned the viability of the shop, their early and persistent presence draws the village shop and the rural consumer into the mainstream of consumption and retail transformation.
