First published in 1986, this book examines poverty and changing
attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and
Italy. It discusses the causes of poverty and the distinctions
between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early
nineteenth-century Italy as a special study, it uses the
exceptionally rich documentary sources from this time to examine
such issues as charity, repression, the reasons why families
suffered poverty and what strategies they adopted for survival. In
this study, Stuart Woolf takes full account of recent work in
historical demography and in sociological studies of poverty and
the welfare state to produce this original and thoughtful work.
This book will be of interest to those studying the history of
poverty, class and the welfare state.
