A concise synthesis of past work on a unique and important system of social welfare.
The Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 is one of the most important pieces of social legislation ever enacted. Its principles and the workhouse system dominated attitudes to welfare provision for the next 80 years. This new Seminar Study explores the changing ideas to poverty over this period and assesses current debates on Victorian attitudes to the poor. David Englander reviews the old system of poor relief; he considers how the New Poor Law was enacted and received and looks at how it worked in practice. The chapter on the Scottish experience will be particularly welcomed, as will Dr Englander's discussion of the place of the Poor Law within British history.
A study of English policies toward the poor from the 1600s to the present, showing how clients and officials negotiated welfare settlements.
Brundage examines the nature and operation of the English poor law system from the early 18th century to its termination in 1930.
