The first comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the literature
on poverty, communal welfare systems and alternative welfare
strategies. Offers a new perspective on how we should conceptualise
poverty and how ordinary families and communities responded to that
poverty.. Indicates the need for new directions in the study of
poverty and welfare using previously unpublished results form one
of the biggest poor law databases in existence.. Argues that
welfare historians have paid too little attention to the
complexities of defining and measuring poverty, and a variety of
primary source material is used to reconsider the extent of poverty
in the period 1700-1850.. Provides the first systematic attempt to
discuss the regional dimensions of the welfare system in an English
context. This book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable
Development Goal 1, No poverty. -- .
