About this product

Product Information

Crossing period boundaries separating late medieval, early modern, and long eighteenth-century England, Paul A. Fideler offers a coherent overview of parish-centered social welfare from its medieval roots, through its institutionalisation in the Elizabethan Poor Law, to its demise in the early years of the Industrial Revolution. The study: - incorporates the latest scholarship - weaves together social, economic, demographic, medical, political, religious and ideological history - offers fresh treatments of the contextual importance of Christian moral theology in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, humanist and protestant thought in the sixteenth century and neo-Stoic benevolence and political arithmetic in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries - explores two competing approaches to social welfare: societas (voluntary, rooted in custom and tradition) and civitas (mandatory, embedded in policy and law) - concludes with a detailed examination of the first histories of social welfare in England undertaken in the late eighteenth century.

Reviews
'A thoughtful and provocative analysis from which all students of English social welfare will learn a great deal.' - Steve Hindle, University of Warwick, UK 'This admirable survey, which spans several conventional periods, is wide-ranging but always lucid. Particularly helpful is its discussion of changing ideas (about poverty, charity, and social responsibility) and how they affected responses at the local and national levels.' - Marjorie K. McIntosh, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA
