Description

Explore a rare glimpse into nineteenth-century life with this collection of over 600 letters from Kirkby Lonsdale. Part of the Records of Social and Economic History series, this work offers a direct look at the experiences of the poor between 1809 and 1836. These primary sources provide a window into the lives of a group often left out of historical records. The letters document the harsh realities of the era, including sickness, starvation, and homelessness. Readers will find accounts of families struggling to meet basic needs and individuals facing extreme desperation. Beyond the physical hardships, the text captures the emotional landscape of those living through the Old English Poor Law system.
