Linen textiles fromBrittanywere a well-known source of this province’s wealth in the modern era. Yet many gaps remain in the historiography of this subject.By focusing on the Revolutionary decade of the 1790s, the author raises new questions about aspects of this neglected history. First, the author takes seriously the notion that textiles were intended for exportation to American markets, an issue which is examined by an analysis of American sources to understand better the local circulation and consumption of these textiles. Then the author considers how these textiles formed part of a larger textile market in which, overlapping and interlockingwith other fabrics, Breton textiles laboured with increasing difficulty to secure a place. Lastly, the author integrates the fabrics in their variety, like the thread, into the reasoning. Thus, this turbulent decade allows for a close, ground-level observation of the intersections between Revolutionary geopolitics and a material and global history of textiles.
