The Old Poor Law in Scotland
Author: Rosalind Mitchison
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780748613434
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
This is a history of the Old Poor Law in Scotland, which existed from 1574 to 1845. It is also a history of the poor and of the experience of poverty. In describing how Scottish society's less fortunate members were dealt with the author is able to reveal much about the values of that society and the links and barriers between the classes. This richly woven narrative of events, ideas, and individuals has been constructed largely from the author's meticulous research over a period of 25 years. It is likely to be seen as a classic of enduring importance in the understanding of Scottish social, religious, economic, and political history.

A History of the Scotch Poor Law, in Connection with the Condition of the People
Poverty and Poor Law Reform in Nineteenth-Century Britain, 1834-1914
Author: David Englander
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317883217
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
The Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834 is one of the most important pieces of social legislation ever enacted. Its principles and the workhouse system dominated attitudes to welfare provision for the next 80 years. This new Seminar Study explores the changing ideas to poverty over this period and assesses current debates on Victorian attitudes to the poor. David Englander reviews the old system of poor relief; he considers how the New Poor Law was enacted and received and looks at how it worked in practice. The chapter on the Scottish experience will be particularly welcomed, as will Dr Englander's discussion of the place of the Poor Law within British history.
