Description

This compelling collection presents over 600 letters written by or for the poor in early nineteenth-century Cumbrian town of Kirkby Lonsdale, offering an unparalleled historical record of working-class life during the Old English Poor Law era. The letters reveal the raw human experiences of a marginalised group whose voices rarely survive in historical archives - accounts of sickness, suffering, desperate poverty, homelessness and the anguish of families unable to meet basic needs. Readers encounter poignant testimonies from people facing starvation, destitution and mortality, alongside their hopes and emotional struggles. Published by Oxford University Press as part of the Records of Social and Economic History series, this volume transforms our understanding of nineteenth-century social welfare, rural poverty and the lived reality of those navigating the Poor Law system. Essential for historians, social researchers and anyone interested in British social history, these authentic voices provide irreplaceable insight into a critical period of social change.
