Merchants and Heroes: London's history in the time of John Stow

The position of merchants in Tudor London.


Merchants and their achievements occupied a prominent place in London's history in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Whether in the annual Lord Mayor's pageants, or in works such as John Stow's Survey of London (1598), the city's merchants were given almost 'heroic' status as part of the explorations of the city's past, which were reflections of contemporary values and concerns.
