- This 463-page volume, winner of the 2019 British Academy Peter Townsend Prize and 2020 Janette Harley Prize, and supported by large grants from The AHRC and Leverhulme Trust, constitutes an ambitious and thorough reinterpretation of the meaning and practice of the Old Poor Law. It draws on a database of pauper and advocate letters and official correspondence which is unparalleled in scale and scope, one that has involved data collection in and 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.
