Description

Explores the changing attitudes to poverty from Victorian times to the oubreak of World War I. The book reviews the old system of poor relief before considering the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 - one of the most important pieces of social legislation ever enacted. It shows how attitudes to poverty changed from being a "natural" to a "social" condition under the impact of industrialization, urbanization and war. The text contains a detailed examination of what life was really like in the workhouse, from the design of the new establishments, to the food the inmates ate and the problems of discipline.
