Beschreibung

A pioneering study of children's social care in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries, A Home From Home? presents new information and develops conceptual thinking about the history of children's care by investigating the centrality of key ideas about home, family, and nurture that shaped welfare provision for children at this time.

Her research interests include welfare and poverty, the history of the family, the history of emotions, race, empire and migration, and histories of landscape and environment.
