- This 488-page single-authored volume, supported by large grants from the AHRC and Leverhulme Trust, constitutes a reinterpretation of the meaning and practice of the Old Poor Law. It draws on a database of almost 26,000 pauper and advocate letters and the correspondence of overseers in forty-eight counties and data collection from every county archive in England, Scotland and Wales. At least 7 of the 13 substantive chapters could have been published as articles in their own right.
