Southern England has been studied considerably less than the
industrialising north and midlands in the debate on the standard of
living in the period up to 1850. Yet it is becoming clear that it
was in the south and in the countryside that the greatest poverty
and deprivation was to be found. In these essays John Rule and
Roger Wells, whose work has made them leading authorities in this
area, examine responses to the struggle to live. These responses
ranged from, at the most extreme, sheepstealing and incendiarism to
joining in food riots in an attempt to impose a 'moral economy'.
More sustained protest is to be seen in passive and sometimes
active resistance to authority, and in particular in the opposition
to the introduction of the New Poor Law of 1834. Finally the appeal
yet limitations of Chartism in the south is demonstrated.
