Poverty and Poor Law Reform in Nineteenth-Century Britain, 1834-1914 by David Englander
The Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 is one of the most important pieces of social legislation ever enacted. Its principles and the workhouse system dominated attitudes to welfare provision for the next 80 years. This new Seminar Study explores the changing ideas to poverty over this period and assesses current debates on Victorian attitudes to the poor.
David Englander is senior lecturer in European Humanities Studies at the Open University, London. He is the author or editor of seven previous books.
