A hundred years ago, most working-class households avoided or coped with poverty without recourse to the state. The Poor Law after 1834 offered little more than a 'safety net' for the poorest, and much welfare was organised through charitable societies, self-help institutions and mutual-aid networks. Rather than look for the origins of modern provision, the author casts a searching light on the practices, ideology and outcomes of nineteenth-century welfare. This original and stimulating study, based upon a wealth of scholarship, is essential reading for all students of poverty and welfare. It also contains much to interest a wider readership.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737173754144,"sku":"NEW0333632540","price":54.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71A_oomrDqL.jpg?v=1779552853","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/state-society-and-the-poor-in-nineteenth-century-england-in-nineteenth-century-england-social-history-in-perspective-39-0333632540","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
