- This 394-page 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 data and consequent analysis 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) and has the depth (at c.600,000 words) to change our understanding of the intent of the Old Poor Law.
