The poor law had a profound impact on English society between the
sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. Designed to reform the poor
as much as to relieve poverty, it also shaped institutions of
government and determined people's expectations and assumptions
about social welfare. Over the last few decades there has been a
good deal of detailed research examining how the law was
implemented in different regions, its influence on social attitudes
and social realities, and its significance as a major burden on
local government and a source of political and social concern. The
English Poor Law, 1531-1782 provides a concise synthesis of past
work, explaining the origins of this unique system of welfare, and
showing how the poor law played a central role in English social
and political development from the Reformation to the Industrial
Revolution.
