Exploring the development of Glasgow, from the medieval period, through the expansion of the early modern town, to the movement towards industrialization in the 18th century, this book places Glasgow in a national and international context. A wide variety of issues are examined, including the impact of the Atlantic trades, the physical development of the town, the government of Glasgow, and labour and radicalism in the industrializing city and urban elites. This is the first of a three-volume study, charting the development of Glasgow from the medieval period to the 21st century.
