This collection of all new essays seeks to answer a series of
questions surrounding the Victorian response to poverty in Britain.
In short, what did various layers of society say the poor deserved
and what did they do to help them? The project is organised against
the backdrop of the 1834 New Poor Laws, recognising that poverty
garnered considerable attention in England because of its pervasive
and painful presence. Each essay examines a different initiative to
help the poor. Taking an historical tack, the essayists begin with
the royal perspective and move into the responses of Church of
England members, Evangelicals, and Roman Catholics; the social
engagement of the literati is discussed as well. This collection of
essays reflects the real, monetary, spiritual and emotional
investments of individuals, public institutions, private charities,
and religious groups who struggled to address the needs of the
poor.
