Politicians, social administrators, economists, biographers and
historians have shared the belief that the Charity Organisation
Society effectively rationalized relief to the Victorian poor and
illustrated the advantages of caring voluntarism over impersonal
state handouts. Evidence has shown how, in provincial England,
these impressions were illusory. The alleged sinful profligacy of
other charitable bodies was persistently condemned by the Charity
Organisation Society for fostering latent sin amongst the poor. By
exposing how they failed in practice to satisfy their own
prescriptions for appropriate poor relief, this volume asks whether
the members of the Charity Organisation Society were themselves
morally equipped to castigate other about sin.
