Inequalities in health, in terms of both empirical evidence and
policies to tackle their reduction, are currently high on the
research and political agendas. This reader provides two centuries
of historical context to the current debate. Poverty, inequality
and health in Britain: 1800-2000 presents extracts from classic
texts on the subject of poverty, inequality and health in Britain.
For the first time, these key resources are presented in a single
volume. Each extract is accompanied by information about the
author, and an introduction by the editors draws together themes of
change and continuity over two hundred years. Some extracts present
empirical evidence of the relationship of poverty and health, while
others describe the gritty reality of the everyday struggles of the
poor. This book will be of interest to students, researchers,
academics and policy makers working in a range of disciplines: the
social sciences, historical studies and health. It will also be of
interest to all those concerned with tackling health inequalities
and social justice generally. Studies in poverty, inequality and
social exclusion series Series Editor: David Gordon, Director,
Townsend Centre for International Poverty Research. Poverty,
inequality and social exclusion remain the most fundamental
problems that humanity faces in the 21st century. This exciting
series, published in association with the Townsend Centre for
International Poverty Research at the University of Bristol, aims
to make cutting-edge poverty related research more widely
available. For other titles in this series, please follow the
