| Summary | "English Industries of the Middle Ages" by L. F. Salzman is an introduction to the industrial history of medieval England, written in the early 20th century. The work aims to provide a foundational understanding of various industries active during the pre-Elizabethan era, without claiming to cover the subject comprehensively. The text explores key aspects of medieval industries, such as mining and the production processes involved, while also serving as a springboard for further academic study. The opening of the volume discusses the overall intentions and structure of the book, emphasizing its role as both an informative resource for the general reader and a guide for students seeking more detailed understanding. Salzman notes the technicalities and industrial conditions of several medieval industries, beginning with coal mining. He outlines the historical presence of coal use in Britain, tracing its re-emergence after the Roman era and addressing mining methods and societal impacts. The author further emphasizes the significance of certain industries and how they were organized, shaping both the economic landscape and social structures of medieval England.
