First published in 1981, From Pauperism to Poverty consists of
seven essays, three of which focus on the English poor law between
1800 and 1914 and four of which examine texts of social
investigation by Mayhew, Engels, Booth and Rowntree. Rather than
making a specialist contribution to the history of social thought
and policy, the essays raise general questions about current ways
of writing history and alternative analyses of specific texts or
institutions are developed. In doing so, the previous histories of
the relief of pauperism and the discovery of poverty are revised at
many points. Most notably, it is demonstrated for the first time
that relief to unemployed men was virtually abolished after 1850.
This book will be of interest to those studying the history of
social welfare and poverty.
