From the cradle to the grave : social welfare in Britain, 1890s-1950

"From the Cradle to the Grave" is the second most popular module in the new Intermediate History courses run in Scotland under the Higher Still programme.

There are currently no books written for this topic, so this text will fill the gap.

The book deals with social history during the period 1890 to 1951, focusing in particular on the changing role of government in tackling the problem of poverty, and dealing with a new relationship between the people of Britain and their government.
