Description

The Metropolitan Poor Vol 2 presents a collection of primary materials documenting the lives and conditions of urban poor communities across a century of social change. This scholarly compilation features writings from urban travellers and social reformers, spanning from the final years of the 18th century through 1910, capturing the period when poverty became recognised as a persistent feature of urban life. The collection draws together contemporary accounts and observations that illuminate the social attitudes, reforms, and lived experiences of metropolitan poor communities during this transformative era. Researchers, historians, and students of social history will find this Routledge publication an invaluable primary source for understanding urban poverty, social reform movements, and the evolution of public discourse surrounding metropolitan deprivation across two centuries.

Key Features

The Metropolitan Poor Vol 2 compiles primary source documents from 1795 to 1910, offering direct historical evidence of urban poverty perspectives across more than a century.

This Routledge collection includes writings from urban travellers and social reformers who documented and analysed metropolitan poor conditions firsthand.

The volume covers the period beginning in the 1790s when urban poverty was first systematically recognised as endemic to metropolitan life in Britain.

Primary materials in this collection provide authentic contemporary voices and viewpoints essential for research in social history, economics, and urban studies.

Scholars and students of 19th-century social conditions will find detailed accounts and reform proposals from the era's most influential observers and activists.
