Essex Pauper Letters, 1731-1837 by Thomas Sokoll
The immensely rich archives from the administration of the English poor law before 1834 include letters to the overseers of the poor that came from the poor themselves. This edition contains 750 of these letters, and aims to demonstrate the importance of this source, both for the social historian and for the comparative study of literacy.
Review from previous edition A wonderfully high quality edition.. This is a most valuable collection, which takes us as close to the "voices of the poor" as we are ever likely to get, and provides an invaluable tool for both teaching and research. * LPS *
