Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of Workhouse Visiting and Management: During Twenty-Five Years The length of time (more than a quarter of a century) through which I have been gaining experience may perhaps embolden me, without apology, to say some words and truths, to serve as footprints on the sands of time, to those who are struggling through some difficulties which we have overcome. And in saying this, let me state my own great and ever-growing conviction (one which, I fear, is in some measure ignored at the present day) of the inestimable value of experience. I believe it to be that quality which no other can entirely supersede or dispense with, and which the wisest cannot afford to cast aside. The young and enthusiastic workers of the present day are too apt to form theories. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I Cannot refrain from adding one more fact concerning a London workhouse which I visited, and where the master, his wife, and daughter were for years the only paid officers besides the porter and taskmaster. I used to hear strange, but true, stories about them. Some years after their dismissal, the daughter was readmitted, as a pauper and a confirmed drunkard, in the very house where she used to employ the women to embroider her fine petticoats, and set an example of vanity!

Download or read book Imagined Orphans written by Lydia Murdoch and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2006-02-16 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his dirty, tattered clothes and hollowed-out face, the image of Oliver Twist is the enduring symbol of the young indigent spilling out of the orphanages and haunting the streets of late-nineteenth-century London. He is the victim of two evils: an aristocratic ruling class and, more directly, neglectful parents. Although poor children were often portrayed as real-life Oliver Twists-either orphaned or abandoned by unworthy parents-they, in fact, frequently maintained contact and were eventually reunited with their families.In Imagined Orphans, Lydia Murdoch focuses on this discrepancy between the representation and the reality of children's experiences within welfare institutions-a discrepancy that she argues stems from conflicts over middle- and working-class notions of citizenship. Reformers' efforts to depict poor children as either orphaned or endangered by abusive or "no-good" parents fed upon the poor's increasing exclusion from the Victorian social body. Reformers used the public's growing distrust and pitiless attitude toward poor adults to increase charity and state aid to the children.With a critical eye to social issues of the period, Murdoch urges readers to reconsider the stereotypically dire situation of families living in poverty. While reformers' motivations seem well-intentioned, she shows how their methods solidified the public's anti-poor sentiment and justified a minimalist welfare state that engendered a cycle of poverty. As they worked to fashion model citizens, reformers' efforts to protect and care for children took on an increasingly imperial cast that would continue into the twentieth century.

Download or read book A Grim Almanac of the Workhouse written by Peter Higginbotham and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For two centuries, the shadow of the workhouse hung over Britain. The recourse of only the most desperate, dark and terrible tales of malnutrition, misery, mistreatment and murder ran like wildfire through the poorer classes, who lived in terror of being forced inside the institution's towering walls. This book contains 365 incredible tales of fires, drownings, explosions and disasters, infamous scandals such as the Andover affair – where inmates were forced to eat the bones they were supposed to be crushing to ward off starvation – and sickening tales of abuse, assault, bodysnatching, poisonings, post mortems and murder. Accompanied by 70 rare and wonderful illustrations, this book will thrill, fascinate, sadden and unnerve in equal measure. DID YOU KNOW? In the early hours of 31 August 1888, the mutilated body of Mary Ann Nichols – the first generally accepted victim of Jack the Ripper – was discovered in Buck's Row, Whitechapel, just a little way from the Whitechapel workhouse infirmary. Nichols, aged forty-two at her death, had been a regular habituée of London's workhouses. On 30 May 1896, at the age of seven, future Hollywood star Charlie Chaplin entered the Newington workhouse in south London, together with his mother, Hannah, and his older half-brother Sydney. On 19 March 1834 a revolt took place amongst the juvenile female paupers of St Margaret's workhouse, Westminster. A young man named Speed, appointed as their superintendent, provoked their wrath by his alleged tyrannical behaviour. He was unmercifully thrashed by the girls who tore his clothes nearly off his back and beat him until his cries raised the alarm and the police were sent for to quell the disturbance.
