Navigating the Old English Poor Law: The Kirkby Lonsdale Letters, 1809-1836 - Records of Social and Economic History
Peter Jones-Steven King
At the heart of this book are the stories, in their own words, of ordinary people who fell into need and required the help of the local state in the early nineteenth century. We read their hopes, fears, detailed experiences of illness, and aspects of material conditions across a spectrum from nakedness and starvation to homelessness and eviction.
