Welfare's Forgotten Past

A Socio-Legal History of the Poor Law

Beschreibung

That 'poor law was law' is a fact that has slipped from the consciousness of historians of welfare in England and Wales, and in North America. Welfare's Forgotten Past remedies this situation by tracing the history of the legal right of the settled poor to relief when destitute.
