Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers the forgotten history of the English Poor Laws from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. It investigates how, following the dissolution of the monasteries and the enclosure of common lands, the Tudor and Stuart periods saw thousands plunged into poverty, leading to the creation of harsh laws designed to suppress and punish these impoverished people. The book reveals how the system of removing the poor to their parish of origin and the requirement of certificates to seek work elsewhere had a devastating impact on the lives of ordinary labourers, akin to the serfdom that had existed centuries before. The author draws on original documents and records to illustrate the brutality and occasional absurdity of the laws, demonstrating the extent to which the poor were treated as mere commodities, bought and sold, hired and fired, at the whim of their employers. This book is a compelling and important contribution to the history of poverty and social welfare and of particular relevance at a time when issues of inequality remain at the forefront of public debate. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331936183_0
