Abstract Drawing evidence from the proceedings of the Antwerp hoogere Vierschaer (the local criminal court), the article challenges some key features from Jan de Vries’ hypothesis of the Industrious Revolution. Mesmerised by an endless variety of fashionable and exotic consumer goods, eighteenth-century people would have slashed their leisure time in a variety of ways. Labour input would have been forced up on a daily, weekly and annual base. However, time-budget analysis of Antwerp labour rhythms evidences a much more complex picture, which does not really hint at an industrious revolution but rather reveals invariable industriousness.

时髦地迟到？现代早期安特卫普的时间、工作和勤奋革命（1585-1795）

摘要 本文从安特卫普 hoogere Vierschaer（当地刑事法院）的诉讼程序中提取证据，挑战了 Jan de Vries 的工业革命假说中的一些关键特征。18 世纪的人们被无穷无尽的时尚和异国情调的消费品迷住了，他们会以各种方式削减他们的闲暇时间。劳动力投入将被迫每天、每周和每年增加。然而，对安特卫普劳动节律的时间预算分析证明了一幅更为复杂的图景，它并没有真正暗示一场勤奋的革命，而是揭示了不变的勤奋。
