Synopsis
A revealing look at life in New England’s poor-houses, told through vivid portraits of residents and the people who run and care for them. This edition draws on historic scenes that illuminate how poverty shaped daily life, community response, and local policy.
Wocusing on the experiences of a wide range of characters—from the pious elderly widow Charity Prescott to town authorities and caretakers—the book blends documentary detail with a pointed social perspective. It uses personal anecdotes and scenes from the poor-house to explore themes of dignity, policy, and the pressures of a community trying to balance civilization with compassion.
- Compelling portraits of paupers, their caretakers, and town officials
- Between harsh realities and humane moments, a look at governance and care systems
- A historical, provincial view of New England life and social norms
- Structured chapters that move from daily routines to larger debates about poverty and reform
Ideal for readers of social history and regional literature who seek human stories behind policy and place.

Présentation de l'éditeur
New England, the land of civilization and religion, but not a THOUSANDTH part of those TRUE stories that may yet be told of them, their sufferings, their neglect, their vice, nor have I told the loorst judge ye !I have not dealt in personalities. My actors, such as Squire.S tout, Mr. Haddock, Captain Bunce, etc., represent character merely. Nor have I given in caricature a real locality to the scenes. Unhappily these lie broadcast all over New England. THE AUTHOR.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the lives of impoverished individuals in 19th century New England, exploring the harsh realities of the region's poorhouses. Through deeply moving stories of the destitute and elderly, the author exposes the inhumanity of these institutions and the prejudice prevalent during this era. The author questions the very nature of morality and compassion, juxtaposing the community's severe treatment of the poor with the religious values they claim to uphold. This thought-provoking and emotionally resonant work sheds light on the historical and social context of poverty, offering a powerful indictment of the failures of human compassion while illuminating the strength and resilience of those who endured unimaginable hardship.
