Download or read book Poor Relief and Charity 1869-1945 written by R. Humphreys and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-10-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume challenges many widely held beliefs about the efficacy of the London Charity Organization Society. Politicians, social administrators, sociologists, economists, biographers and historians have been swayed by the strength of their propaganda. The Charity Organization Society continues to be used as an institutional model to illustrate the alleged advantages of voluntarism over state benefits. Poor Relief and Charity 1869-1945 exposes the misleading nature of many of its claims. It explains why they were shunned by other charities, treated with suspicion by parish clergy, disregarded by poor law guardians and seen as little different from the stigmatized poor law by those in need.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Work in London, 1869 to 1912: A History of the Charity Organisation Society The first part of the record has been devoted to chronicling the origin and internal development of the Society itself. It is in a certain sense a domestic record, a sort of family history, which may naturally be of more interest to members of the family than to the outside world. It must lack, too, the human appeal which attends upon revelations of the private life of individuals; we all like to read about a man's early struggles to establish himself in life, especially when he is encom passed about by the machinations of enemies and rivals; and our sympathies are easily roused by his subsequent difficulties with his family - with the sons who get into debt or repudiate his authority, and the daughters who fall in love with the wrong curate or demand a latchkey. It is less stimulating to hear how a Society achieves success in the face of manifold difficulties, and how its committees become insolvent or do bad case work, or take up with unorthodox views, or set themselves up as rivals to their parent; although to those who have taken part in these various crises the anxieties and passions involved may be intensely keen. Our appeal, therefore, is to an inner and an outer circle of readers, and should any find himself upon the wrong track it will be easy for him to move to more congenial ground.

Download or read book Sin, Organized Charity and the Poor Law in Victorian England written by R. Humphreys and published by Springer. This book was released on 1995-07-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Politicians, social administrators, economists, biographers and historians have shared the belief that the Charity Organisation Society effectively rationalised relief to the Victorian poor and illustrated the advantages of caring voluntarism over impersonal state handouts. It is now clear that in provincial England these impressions were illusory. The alleged sinful profligacy of other charitable bodies was persistently condemned by the Charity Organisation Society for fostering latant sin amongst the poor. By exposing how they failed in practice to satisfy their own prescriptions for appropriate poor relief this volume asks whether the Charity Organisation Society were themselves morally equipped to castigate others about sin.

Download or read book The Origins of the British Welfare State written by Bernard Harris and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 200 years Britain has witnessed profound changes in the nature and extent of state welfare. Drawing on the latest historical and social science research The Origins of the British Welfare State looks at the main developments in the history of social welfare provision in this period. It looks at the nature of problems facing British society in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries and shows how these provided the foundation for the growth of both statutory and welfare provision in the areas of health, housing, education and the relief of poverty. It also examines the role played by the Liberal government of 1906-14 in reshaping the boundaries of public welfare provision and shows how the momentous changes associated with the First and Second World Wars paved the way for the creation of the 'classic' welfare state after 1945. This comprehensive and broad-ranging yet accessible account encourages the reader to question the 'inevitability' of present-day arrangements and provides an important framework for comparative analysis. It will be essential reading for all concerned with social policy, British social history and public policy.

Download or read book Music, Morality and Social Reform in Nineteenth-Century Britain written by Paul Watt and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pioneering work which delves into and reveals the links between music, moral instruction and social reform. This book discusses the role of music in programmes of personal improvement and social reform in nineteenth-century Britain. The pursuit of morality through music was designed not just to improve personal and communal character but to affect social change and transformation. The book examines the musical education of children, women and men through a variety of literature published for various educational settings including mechanics' institutes. It also considers the role of music in narratives of social programs and community-building projects that sought to promote utility, well-being and freedom from the strictures of Christianity as the dominant moral and cultural force. The first book to connect the threads between music, moral instruction and social reform across the educational life cycle in nineteenth-century Britain, it shows how these threads are found in unlikely places, such as games, manners books, economics treatises and short stories. It deftly illustrates the links between everyday life, popular culture and discourses of morality and social reform of the period.

Download or read book Slumming written by Seth Koven and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-24 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1880s, fashionable Londoners left their elegant homes and clubs in Mayfair and Belgravia and crowded into omnibuses bound for midnight tours of the slums of East London. A new word burst into popular usage to describe these descents into the precincts of poverty to see how the poor lived: slumming. In this captivating book, Seth Koven paints a vivid portrait of the practitioners of slumming and their world: who they were, why they went, what they claimed to have found, how it changed them, and how slumming, in turn, powerfully shaped both Victorian and twentieth-century understandings of poverty and social welfare, gender relations, and sexuality. The slums of late-Victorian London became synonymous with all that was wrong with industrial capitalist society. But for philanthropic men and women eager to free themselves from the starched conventions of bourgeois respectability and domesticity, slums were also places of personal liberation and experimentation. Slumming allowed them to act on their irresistible "attraction of repulsion" for the poor and permitted them, with society's approval, to get dirty and express their own "dirty" desires for intimacy with slum dwellers and, sometimes, with one another. Slumming elucidates the histories of a wide range of preoccupations about poverty and urban life, altruism and sexuality that remain central in Anglo-American culture, including the ethics of undercover investigative reporting, the connections between cross-class sympathy and same-sex desire, and the intermingling of the wish to rescue the poor with the impulse to eroticize and sexually exploit them. By revealing the extent to which politics and erotics, social and sexual categories overflowed their boundaries and transformed one another, Koven recaptures the ethical dilemmas that men and women confronted--and continue to confront--in trying to "love thy neighbor as thyself."

Download or read book State, Society and the Poor in Nineteenth-Century England written by Alan Kidd and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1999-07-08 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today it is impossible to separate discussion of poverty from the priorities of state welfare. A hundred years ago, most working-class households avoided or coped with poverty without recourse to the state. The Poor Law after 1834 offered little more than a 'safety net' for the poorest, and much welfare was organised through charitable societies, self-help institutions and mutual-aid networks. Rather than look for the origins of modern provision, the author casts a searching light on the practices, ideology and outcomes of nineteenth-century welfare. This original and stimulating study, based upon a wealth of scholarship, is essential reading for all students of poverty and welfare. It also contains much to interest a wider readership.
