Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That ‘poor law was law’ is a fact that has slipped from the consciousness of historians of welfare in England and Wales, and in North America. Welfare's Forgotten Past remedies this situation by tracing the history of the legal right of the settled poor to relief when destitute. Poor law was not simply local custom, but consisted of legal rights, duties and obligations that went beyond social altruism. This legal ‘truth’ is, however, still ignored or rejected by some historians, and thus ‘lost’ to social welfare policy-makers. This forgetting or minimising of a legal, enforceable right to relief has not only led to a misunderstanding of welfare’s past; it has also contributed to the stigmatisation of poverty, and the emergence and persistence of the idea that its relief is a 'gift' from the state. Documenting the history and the effects of this forgetting, whilst also providing a ‘legal’ history of welfare, Lorie Charlesworth argues that it is timely for social policy-makers and reformists – in Britain, the United States and elsewhere – to reconsider an alternative welfare model, based on the more positive, legal aspects of welfare’s 400-year legal history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Administration Including the Poor Laws IT is a good thing for the student, the teacher, or the thinker, whatever the subject, to recognize its highest ideal to approach it with a fullness of purpose, and with the hope that the time devoted to the furtherance of knowledge, from whatever stand point, may be spent to the advantage of the individual, and to the betterment of his fellow man. There is no topic before the public which has received so much attention as that of the Poor Laws, and there is no subject which deserves to be, and should be, more carefully studied by the average citizen. Yet, it may be asked, to what extent does the knowledge of the man in the street extend beyond the fact that he pays either directly, or through his landlord, a yearly sum for the maintenance of his poorer brethren For what purpose, exactly, this money goes he does not know, neither has he the disposition to inquire until the awakening comes, when, through an occasional scandal, he recognizes that in him, at any rate, the State and the parish has lost the citizen who, by his wilful blindness, has done much to aid and abet a corrupt and unscrupulous management. To such, and there are many, this work will be directed, in the hope that at its completion the dormant interests may have been revived to renewed activity, and that those who may have perused its pages will have received an impetus to inquire further into one of the most pressing social problems of the present, as of the past, generations.

Book excerpt: Few measures, if any, could claim to have had a greater impact on British society than the poor law. As a comprehensive system of relieving those in need, the poor law provided relief for a significant proportion of the population but influenced the behaviour of a much larger group that lived at or near the margins of poverty. It touched the lives of countless numbers of individuals not only as paupers but also as ratepayers, guardians, officials and magistrates. This system underwent significant change in the nineteenth century with the shift from the old to the new poor law. The extent to which changes in policy anticipated new legislation is a key question and is here examined in the context of London. Rapid population growth and turnover, the lack of personal knowledge between rich and poor, and the close proximity of numerous autonomous poor law authorities created a distinctly metropolitan context for the provision of relief. This work provides the first detailed study of the poor law in London during the period leading up to and after the implementation of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources the book focuses explicitly on the ways in which those involved with the poor law - both as providers and recipients - negotiated the provision of relief. In the context of significant urban change in the late eighteenth and nineteenth century, it analyses the poor law as a system of institutions and explores the material and political processes that shaped relief policies.
