Abstract
This introductory chapter explains the manner in which the volume developed from a conference organised by the Centre for Historical Studies at UON. It then explores the main historiographical trends in wellbeing studies and the history of wellbeing. It is suggested that history has been in deficit in approaching wellbeing in comparison to other disciplines. This is partly because the term itself has been so ill-defined. The introduction then goes on to unpack the contents of the volume.
