Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical evolution of poverty and the poor in England, from the 14th century to the present day. The author traces the origins and development of various laws and policies that shaped the experiences of the poor, including the Poor Law of 1601, which established a system of poor relief that has had a lasting impact on social welfare in England. The study delves into the arguments of the era, the reasoning behind the conclusions drawn, and how both have changed over time, perfectly positioning this work within the broader context of economic and social history. Through an analysis of primary sources such as parliamentary records and parish registers, the book throws light on the living and working conditions of the poor, shedding light on their struggles and hardships, the changing nature of poverty, and the evolving attitudes towards the poor and their place in society. Ultimately, this book provides a deeper understanding of the historical roots of poverty and the challenges faced by the poor in England, offering valuable insights for contemporary debates on social welfare and economic justice.
