- Double-weighted statement
- This 408-page single-authored volume constitutes the end-product of a data collection process that has spanned 28 years. Funded by multiple grants from the Wellcome Trust, AHRC and British Academy, it constructs a new theoretical and empirical framework for the understanding of the later Old Poor Law. The vast data collected and analysed is wide in scope (comprising accounts, letters, newspaper reports, minutes, surviving material culture and bills), has considerable geographical reach (involving consideration of material from 30 different central or regional archives, encompassing 117 communities located in a selection of diverse counties).
