This book explores responses to poverty in eighteenth-century
England, with an eye to some of the odder manifestations of charity
and poor relief. Whether discussing proposals for vast inland
colonies or cosy firesides, men and women demonstrated that
imagination, excitement and experiment were as important as
systematic argument in making early-modern social policy.
Ceremonies and material objects encapsulated ideas and attracted
supporters; energy poured into realising imagined prospects in
buildings, streetscapes and landscapes across England and beyond.
Charity and Poverty in England aims to shed fresh light on ideas
and lived experience, on cultural worlds in which social relations
were unevenly worked out. It analyses the settings in which
gentlemen, magistrates, officials, pamphleteers, ladies and
neighbours reacted to the poverty of others, and poor people
asserted their own beliefs and experiences. The book will be of
interest to researchers in the fields of eighteenth-century
cultural history and the history of social policy. -- .
