Book Synopsis The Culture of Commerce in England, 1660-1720 by : Natasha Glaisyer
Download or read book The Culture of Commerce in England, 1660-1720 written by Natasha Glaisyer and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2006 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century England - the period between the Restoration and the South Sea Bubble - was dramatically transformed by the massive cost of fighting wars, and, significantly, a huge increase in the re-export trade. This book seeks to ask how commerce was legitimated, promoted, fashioned, defined and understood in this period of spectacular commercial and financial 'revolution'. It examines the packaging and portrayal of commerce, and of commercial knowledge, positioning itself between studies of merchant culture on the one hand and of the commercialisation of society on the other. It focuses on four main areas: the Royal Exchange where the London trading community gathered; sermons preached before mercantile audiences; periodicals and newspapers concerned with trade; and commercial didactic literature. Dr NATASHA GLAISYER teaches in the Department of History at the University of York.

Book Synopsis Pauper policies by : Samantha A. Shave
Download or read book Pauper policies written by Samantha A. Shave and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pauper policies examines how policies under the old and New Poor Laws were conceived, adopted, implemented, developed or abandoned. This fresh perspective reveals significant aspects of poor law history which have been overlooked by scholars. Important new research is presented on the adoption and implementation of ‘enabling acts’ at the end of the old poor laws; the exchange of knowledge about how best to provide poor relief in the final decades of the old poor law and formative decades of the New; and the impact of national scandals on policy-making in the new Victorian system. Pointing towards a new direction in the study of poor law administration, it examines how people, both those in positions of power and the poor, could shape pauper policies. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in welfare and poverty in eighteenth and nineteenth-century England.
Book Synopsis The poor in England 1700–1850 by : Alannah Tomkins
Download or read book The poor in England 1700–1850 written by Alannah Tomkins and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. This fascinating study investigates the experience of English poverty between 1700 and 1900 and the ways in which the poor made ends meet. The phrase ‘economy of makeshifts’ has often been used to summarise the patchy, desperate and sometimes failing strategies of the poor for material survival. In The poor of England some of the leading, young historians of welfare examine how advantages gained from access to common land, mobilisation of kinship support, resorting to crime, and other marginal resources could prop up struggling households. The essays attempt to explain how and when the poor secured access to these makeshifts and suggest how the balance of these strategies might change over time or be modified by gender, life-cycle and geography. This book represents the single most significant attempt in print to supply the English ‘economy of makeshifts’ with a solid, empirical basis and to advance the concept of makeshifts from a vague but convenient label to a more precise yet inclusive definition.

Book Synopsis Writing the Lives of the English Poor, 1750s-1830s by : Steven King
Download or read book Writing the Lives of the English Poor, 1750s-1830s written by Steven King and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the mid-eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century, the English Old Poor Law was waning, soon to be replaced by the New Poor Law and its dreaded workhouses. In Writing the Lives of the English Poor, 1750s-1830s Steven King reveals colourful stories of poor people, their advocates, and the officials with whom they engaged during this period in British history, distilled from the largest collection of parochial correspondence ever assembled. Investigating the way that people experienced and shaped the English and Welsh welfare system through the use of almost 26,000 pauper letters and the correspondence of overseers in forty-eight counties, Writing the Lives of the English Poor, 1750s-1830s reconstructs the process by which the poor claimed, extended, or defended their parochial allowances. Challenging preconceptions about literacy, power, social structure, and the agency of ordinary people, these stories suggest that advocates, officials, and the poor shared a common linguistic register and an understanding of how far welfare decisions could be contested and negotiated. King shifts attention away from traditional approaches to construct an unprecedented, comprehensive portrait of poor law administration and popular writing at the turn of the nineteenth century. At a time when the western European welfare model is under sustained threat, Writing the Lives of the English Poor, 1750s-1830s takes us back to its deepest roots to demonstrate that the signature of a strong welfare system is malleability.

Book Synopsis The History of the Poor Laws by : Richard Burn
Download or read book The History of the Poor Laws written by Richard Burn and published by . This book was released on 1764 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only edition. The author of the standard English justice of the peace manual of the eighteenth century, Burn was also the author of a law dictionary and important treatises on ecclesiastical and poor law. 'The [History of Poor Laws] is a history, an account of the various proposals made at different periods for the reform of the poor law, and the author's own proposals for the reform both of the poor law and of some other branches of the jurisdiction of the justices of the peace. Like Burn's other works, it is a clear and well arranged account of the subjects with which it deals; but it is more valuable as a criticism, by an exceptionally competent critic, of the defects of the law in his own day, than as a history.'
