What did it mean to be old in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
England? Historians researching the historicity of the aging
experience have to search for references hidden within a wide range
of sources relating to poverty, religion, the family or medicine.
This eight-volume reset edition brings together selections from
medical treatises, sermons, petitions, legal documents, parish
records, almshouse accounts, private letters, diaries and ballads,
to investigate cultural and medical understanding of old age in
pre-industrial England.All of the material presented in this
edition is rare and difficult to access. Much of it exists only in
manuscript form and is previously unpublished.
