The Routledge History of Poverty, c.1450-1800 is a pioneering
exploration of both the lives of the very poorest during the early
modern period, and of the vast edifices of compassion and coercion
erected around them by individuals, institutions, and states. The
essays chart critical new directions in poverty scholarship and
connect poverty to the environment, debt and downward social
mobility, material culture, empires, informal economies,
disability, veterancy, and more. The volume contributes to the
understanding of societal transformations across the early modern
period, and places poverty and the poor at the centre of these
transformations. It also argues for a wider definition of poverty
in history which accounts for much more than economic and social
circumstance and provides both analytically critical overviews and
detailed case studies. By exploring poverty and the poor across
early modern Europe, this study is essential reading for students
and researchers of early modern society, economic history, state
formation and empire, cultural representation, and mobility.
