About this book

This book offers a detailed examination of the living arrangements and material circumstances of the poor betweeen 1650 and 1850. Chapters investigate poor households in urban, rural and metropolitan contexts, and contribute to wider investigations into British economic and social conditions in the long Eighteenth century.

Reviews

'This book is refreshing and progressive in its prioritisation of the human experience of poverty and the way in which itt spotlights housing as a significant factor in the colossal changes that occured during this pivotal period in history.' Aimee Walshaw, Housing Studies

'In this fascinating collection, an impressive team of scholars examine an important and previously neglected aspect of the lives of the poor from diverse perspectives.'

- Robert Shoemaker, University of Sheffield, UK
