This volume explores questions surrounding what types of assistance
were available to people out of work and who should receive that
assistance during the nineteenth century. Documents on the Poor
Law, voluntary organizations, and work relief schemes all
demonstrate how central the work imperative was in the ways
officials decided which applicants for assistance were deserving
and which were not. Sources address many of the significant issues
surrounding local relief to the unemployed, the growing influence
of methodical approaches to charitable giving, and the use of
measures of character embedded in the work imperative to choose
worthy men to relieve. Accompanied by extensive editorial
commentary, this volume will be of great interest to students of
British History.
