A major interdisciplinary study of the development of prisons,
hospitals and insane asylums in America and Europe, this book
resulted from discussions between its two editors about their work
on the history of hospitals, poor relief, deviance, and crime, and
a subsequent conference held in 1992 by the German Historical
Institute that attempted to assess the impacts of Foucault and
Elias. Seventeen contributors from six different countries with
backgrounds in history, sociology and criminology utilize various
methodological approaches and reflect the various viewpoints in the
theoretical debate over Foucault's work.
This collected volume is dedicated to Prof Hans Otto Horch on the
occasion of his 65th birthday. Prof. Horch has done much to enrich
the academic processing of the history of German-Jewish literature
and culture. The wide range of his interests is reflected in these
papers by internationally-renowned Germanists, historians and
cultural researchers, who are concerned with Jewish identity
against the background of Jewish-Christian relations in the
German-speaking world from the Early Modern Age up to the present
day.

This study provides an accessible and authoritative account of poverty and deviance during the early modern period, informed by those new perspectives on the role of the poor themselves in the provision of welfare services characteristic of much recent social history. Contrary to the once-traditional historical emphasis on the ameliorative role of individual reformers, Professor JÜtte's account looks much more closely at the poor themselves, and the complex network of social and communal relationships they inhabited.
