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 Much of it exists only in manuscript form and is previously unpublished.
