This reader provides two centuries of historical context to the current debate.

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.
