This pamphlet examines recent research into the poor laws of Tudor and Stuart England. Dr Beier asks the question who were the poor? and in answering it places the problem of the poor in its historical context, examining it in relation to medieval provisions for dealing with poverty. He shows how far legislation was influenced by economic changes, by ideas about poverty and by the interests of the legislators themselves.

These are the principle recurring themes of this, but explicit attention is also given to foreign policy, to relations between central and local government, and to the structure of central government itself.
