Books by Margaret Spufford

Acting as an introduction to medical ethics, this is an exploration of the problem posed by pain in the field of medicine and religion. The author, Margaret Spufford, suffers from an incurable disease, but in spite of this, as a devout Christian she can write objectively of the problem of pain.

Dr Spufford's book examines the profits made by these publishers, the scale of their operations, and the way the 'small books' were distributed throughout the country. It also examines their content, and compares the English chapbooks with their French counterparts.
