This title explores the experiences of the sick poor in modern
Europe via an analysis of pauper narratives. This book provides a
genuinely pan-European analysis of pauper narratives, focusing on
the experiences of the sick poor in England, France, Germany,
Ireland, Luxembourg, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and
Wales. The contributions highlight the value of pauper narratives
for exploring the agency, rhetoric and experiences of the poor and
sick poor, significantly enhancing our understanding of the ways in
which national and regional welfare systems operated. By
foregrounding the particular experiences and strategies of the sick
poor, this volume helps to establish and understand the central
sentiments of the relief system and the core experiences of those
under its care. What emerges is a demonstration that how a relief
system treated its sick poor and how those sick poor were able to
navigate the system tells us more about welfare history than
analysis of any other group.
