Description

Explore the complex history of poverty and social welfare with this scholarly work from Routledge. First published in 1986, this book provides a deep look into how attitudes toward the poor and charitable institutions changed across England, France, and Italy during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Stuart Woolf examines the fundamental causes of poverty and explores the social distinctions between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. By utilizing rich documentary sources, the text offers a detailed look at the realities of survival. A special focus is placed on early nineteenth-century Italy, where the study investigates the roles of charity and repression in the lives of struggling families. This volume is an essential resource for students and historians interested in historical demography and the evolution of social structures. It provides a clear perspective on why families suffered and the specific strategies they used to navigate economic hardship during these transformative centuries.
