Timeline

1700

He is most well known for his publication of The First Industrial Nation: an Economic History of Britain 1700–1914 (1969), which discussed not only the multiple factors that made industrialisation possible, but also how it was sustained.

Mathias was born in Freshford, Somerset to Jack Mathias (from Plymouth) and Marion (née) Love (from Wingfield).

He attended Colston's School and Bristol Grammar School where he became interested in history.

1928

Peter Mathias, (10 January 1928 – 1 March 2016) was a British economic historian and the former Chichele Professor of Economic History at the University of Oxford.

In December 1945, he applied for a scholarship at King's College, Cambridge; instead he won an Exhibition at Jesus College, Cambridge, during summer 1946.

However the college demanded that those coming up from school should have done military service before they arrived so he spent two years in the army as a conscript.

At Cambridge, his tutor was the medievalist, Vivian Fisher, and the English economic historian, Charles Wilson.

1952

Mathias also spent the 1952–3 academic year at Harvard University, participating in the Research Center for Entrepreneurial History.

He was elected a Research Fellow at Jesus College, Cambridge, when he published his first book on the brewing industry in England.

Mathias then went out to complete a textbook on the history of industrialisation in Britain, The First Industrial Nation (1969).

1983

Professor Mathias is also mentioned extensively in The Thames and I, a memoir by the Prince (now Emperor) of Japan Naruhito, since he was the prince's supervisor while Naruhito was at Merton College in Oxford (1983-1985).

1987

He left Oxford to become master of Downing College, Cambridge, from 1987 to 1995.

Outside of research and teaching, Mathias contributed to the academic community with his positions at the Economic History Society (EHS) and the International Economic History Association (IEHA).
