Description

Explore the complex history of health and welfare in Britain through a unique lens. Medicine, Charity and Mutual Aid: The Consumption of Health and Welfare in Britain, c.1550-1950 offers a deep look into the voluntary sector within British towns and cities. While much historical research focuses on donors or institutions, this volume shifts the focus to the people who actually received help. By examining the role and position of the recipient, this book addresses important questions regarding social cohesion and social control. It provides a necessary perspective on how charity and medicine functioned in local communities over four centuries. This work is an essential resource for those studying historical urban studies and the evolution of British welfare systems. It fills a significant gap in the scholarly conversation by prioritizing the lived experiences of those navigating the charity and medicine landscape.
