What did it mean to be old in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England? This eight-volume edition brings together selections from medical treatises, sermons, legal documents, parish records, almshouse accounts, private letters, diaries and ballads, to investigate cultural and medical understanding of old age in pre-industrial England.
'A clear overview of the themes and sources, which should be accessible even to those unfamiliar with the issue, the period, or the English context.' Eighteenth-Century Studies 'University libraries would do well to purchase the collection, as many aspects will be valuable for instructors who offer research seminars in early modern social history.'
