Exploring a range of poverty experiences - socioeconomic, moral and
spiritual - this collection presents new research by a
distinguished group of scholars working in the medieval and early
modern periods. Collectively they explore both the assumptions and
strategies of those in authority dealing with poverty and the ways
in which the poor themselves tried to contribute to, exploit, avoid
or challenge the systems for dealing with their situation. The
studies demonstrate that poverty was by no means a simple
phenomenon. It varied according to gender, age and geographical
location; and the way it was depicted in speech, writing and visual
images could as much affect how the poor experienced their poverty
as how others saw and judged them. Using new sources - and adopting
new approaches to known sources - the authors share insights into
the management and the self-management of the poor, and search out
aspects of the experience of poverty worthy of note, from which can
be traced lasting influences on the continuing understanding and
experience of poverty in pre-modern Europe.
