At that time, it took the form o f a short essay on attitudes toward the poor and constituted, I believed, a small contribution to the then popular history of "mentalities.
It has grown in length and breadth, spawned new chapters and new tables, acquired new material and new interpretations. In short, it has become a very different study, larger in scope and greater in ambition. Three developments in social history prompted these changes. The first, the emergence of women's history, confirmed my interest in women and caused me to investigate topics like prostitution and illegitimacy. The second, the development of quantitative methods, allowed me to deal with large amounts of data and apply fairly sophisticated statistical tests to thousands of wills and testaments and scores of hospital records and lists of beggars.
Finally, the prestige currently enjoyed by cultural anthropology convinced me that I should put aside my scruples about sparse data and attempt to analyze popular norms and values. Now, the views o f the poor have their place next to the attitudes of the rich. Consequently, this project is no longer a study of elite ideas. It now makes, I hope, some small contribution to women's history, to the development of quantitative methods, and to our knowledge of popular customs and culture.
