Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of Poverty in England, From the Norman Conquest to Modern Times: Extracted From Various Histories and Condensed By this Manorial or feudal system the people were in 'a great measure tied to their village homes, as they had no choice but to live where they were born, and to serve the master upon whose Manor they lived. SO long as they stayed in their native village they must serve their lord, in tilling his ground or looking after his cattle. For this they were paid no wages, but they had their cottages and the free use Of strips Of land to sow or plant for themselves. The land that was held by each man was not all in one place, but scattered amongst the strips that were held by his fellow villagers. They could not sell their land, nor leave the Manor without their lord's permission. In fact they could not give thelr daughters in marriage or sell an ox without consulting their masters. And yet they were not slaves, for slavery and serfdom had almost disappeared. Every few months they gathered together in the Manor Court and took part in the election Of the petty Manorial Officers, the Reeve, the Reaper, the Ale Taster, and others. At these Manor Courts, presided over by the Steward of the Manor, disputes as to the possession Of land, or inheritance, were decided, oftentimes by a jury Of the villagers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge History of Poverty, c.1450–1800 is a pioneering exploration of both the lives of the very poorest during the early modern period, and of the vast edifices of compassion and coercion erected around them by individuals, institutions, and states. The essays chart critical new directions in poverty scholarship and connect poverty to the environment, debt and downward social mobility, material culture, empires, informal economies, disability, veterancy, and more. The volume contributes to the understanding of societal transformations across the early modern period, and places poverty and the poor at the centre of these transformations. It also argues for a wider definition of poverty in history which accounts for much more than economic and social circumstance and provides both analytically critical overviews and detailed case studies. By exploring poverty and the poor across early modern Europe, this study is essential reading for students and researchers of early modern society, economic history, state formation and empire, cultural representation, and mobility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What would English history look like from the gutter? The past is traditionally told from the viewpoint of kings and queens, politicians and pioneers. But what about the people struggling to survive at the very lowest levels of society? Surely the poor are just as much a part of our heritage? A Pauper's History of England covers 1,000 years of poverty from Domesday right up to the twentieth century, via the Black Death and the English Civil War. It uses contemporary sources creatively to give the reader an idea of just what life was like for the peasants, paupers, beggars and the working poor as England developed from a feudal society into a wealthy superpower. Experience the past from a different perspective: ¥ Tour the England of the Domesday Book ¥ Make a solemn Franciscan vow of Poverty ¥ Join the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 ¥ Converse with Elizabethan beggars' and learn their secret language ¥ Meet the inmates of Bedlam Hospital and Bridewell Prison ¥ Enjoy a gin-soaked Georgian night of debauchery ¥ Spend the night in a workhouse ¥ Go slumming in Victorian London

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This electronic version has been made available under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-ND) open access license. This fascinating study investigates the experience of English poverty between 1700 and 1900 and the ways in which the poor made ends meet. The phrase ‘economy of makeshifts’ has often been used to summarise the patchy, desperate and sometimes failing strategies of the poor for material survival. In The poor of England some of the leading, young historians of welfare examine how advantages gained from access to common land, mobilisation of kinship support, resorting to crime, and other marginal resources could prop up struggling households. The essays attempt to explain how and when the poor secured access to these makeshifts and suggest how the balance of these strategies might change over time or be modified by gender, life-cycle and geography. This book represents the single most significant attempt in print to supply the English ‘economy of makeshifts’ with a solid, empirical basis and to advance the concept of makeshifts from a vague but convenient label to a more precise yet inclusive definition.
Download or read book The Poor in Western Europe in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries written by Stuart Woolf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, this book examines poverty and changing attitudes towards the poor and charity across England, France and Italy. It discusses the causes of poverty and the distinctions between the poor and the class-conscious proletariat. Taking early nineteenth-century Italy as a special study, it uses the exceptionally rich documentary sources from this time to examine such issues as charity, repression, the reasons why families suffered poverty and what strategies they adopted for survival. In this study, Stuart Woolf takes full account of recent work in historical demography and in sociological studies of poverty and the welfare state to produce this original and thoughtful work. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of poverty, class and the welfare state.
