Most historians portray 19th-century county asylums as the
exclusive realm of the asylum doctor, but Bartlett (law, U. of
Nottingham) argues that they should be thought of as an aspect of
English poor law, in which the medical superintendent had
remarkably little power. He examines the place of the county asylum
movement in the midcentury poor law debates and its legal and
administrative regimes. Taking the Leicestershire asylum as a case
study, he explores the role of poor law officers in admission
processes, and relations between them and the staff and inspectors.
