First published in 1979, Urban Poverty in Britain 1830-1914
examines the plight of the poor in towns as a direct result of
industrialization. This valuable study examines the major causes of
poverty - low pay, casual labour, unemployment, sickness,
widowhood, large families, old age, drink and personal failings -
and society's response to the problem. It also pays attention to
the changes in food consumption brought about by migration to the
urban areas. Detailed accounts of specific problems and specific
situations are combined with a look at the broader questions, and
subsequently provides a thorough account of urban poverty in this
period.
