Tabl Cynhwysion:
  • Who was "old" in eighteenth-century England?
  • The activities of the "helmsman" : self-reliance, work, and community expectations of the elderly
  • "The comforts of a private fire-side"
  • Independent but not alone : family ties for the elderly
  • Community assistance to the aged under the Old Poor Law
  • Continuity and change in community assistance to the elderly over the eighteenth century
  • Within workhouse walls : indoor relief for the elderly
  • Conclusion : old age as a useful category of historical analysis.
