Description

First published in 1986, this scholarly examination explores poverty and evolving attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and Italy during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Stuart Woolf analyses the root causes of poverty whilst distinguishing between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early nineteenth-century Italy as a detailed case study, the book draws on exceptionally rich documentary sources to investigate charity practices, repression, the factors driving family poverty and the survival strategies communities employed. The study incorporates recent advances in historical demography, offering a comprehensive understanding of social welfare history and economic hardship across Western Europe during this transformative period.
