Remaining in force until 1834, the law provided goods and services to keep the poor alive.Combining short- and long- form articles and essays, Providing for the Poor brings together academics and practitioners from across disciplines to re-examine the micro-politics of poverty in the long eighteenth century through the eyes of the poor, their providers and enablers. From the providence of the parochial sixpence given in order to move a beggar on, to coercive marriages, plebeian clothing and the much broader implications of vagrancy towards the end of the long eighteenth century, this volume aims to bridge the gaps in our understanding of the experiences of people across the social spectrum whose lives were touched by the Old Poor Law. It brings together some of the wider arguments concerning the nature of welfare during economically testing times, and navigates the rising bureaucracy inherent in the system, to produce a radical new history of the Old Poor Law in astonishing detail. 648 7 1700-1899|2fast 650 0 Poor laws. 650 7 Poor laws.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01071211 650 9 Poor|zEngland|xHistory|y18th century. 650 9 Poor|zEngland|xHistory|y19th century. 650 9 Poor|zWales|xHistory|y18th century. 650 9 Poor.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01071040 650 9 Poor|zWales|xHistory|y19th century. 651 7 Wales.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01207649 651 7 England.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 690 7 Poor people|zEngland|xHistory|y19th century.|2local DEI term 690 7 Poor people|zWales|xHistory|y18th century.|2local DEI term 690 7 Poor people|zWales|xHistory|y19th century.|2local DEI term 690 7 Poor people|zEngland|xHistory|y18th century.|2local DEI term 700 1 Collinge, Peter,|eeditor. 700 1 Falcini, Louise,|eeditor. 710 2 University of London.|bInstitute of Historical Research, |eissuing body. 710 2 Royal Historical Society (Great Britain),|eissuing body. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tProviding for the poor.|dLondon : University of London Press : Institute of Historical Research, [2022]|z9781914477102|w(OCoLC)1328010826 914 on1343196783 994 C0|bSTJ
