Its principal focus is the great demographic revolution which occurred during those years, especially the secular decline of fertility and the origins of the modern rise in life expectancy. But Robert Woods also considers the variable quality of the Victorian registration system; the changing role of what Robert Malthus termed the preventive check; variations in occupational mortality and the development of the twentieth-century class mortality gradient; and the effects of urbanisation associated with the significance of distinctive disease environments. The volume also illustrates the fundamental importance of geographical variations between urban and rural areas. This invaluable reference tool is lavishly illustrated with numerous tables, figures and maps, many of which are reproduced in full colour. 410 0$aCambridge studies in population, economy, and society in past time ;$v35. 517 3 $aThe Demography of Victorian England & Wales 606 $aDemography$zEngland 606 $aDemography$zWales 607 $aEngland$xPopulation 607 $aWales$xPopulation 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aDemography 615 0$aDemography 676 $a304.6/0942/09034 700 $aWoods$b Robert$0411466 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780274403321 996 $aThe demography of Victorian England and Wales$93731663 997 $aUNINA
