From Pauperism to Poverty
Author: Karel Williams
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315518597
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
First published in 1981, From Pauperism to Poverty consists of seven essays, three of which focus on the English poor law between 1800 and 1914 and four of which examine texts of social investigation by Mayhew, Engels, Booth and Rowntree. Rather than making a specialist contribution to the history of social thought and policy, the essays raise general questions about current ways of writing history and alternative analyses of specific texts or institutions are developed. In doing so, the previous histories of the relief of pauperism and the discovery of poverty are revised at many points. Most notably, it is demonstrated for the first time that relief to unemployed men was virtually abolished after 1850. This book will be of interest to those studying the history of social welfare and poverty.

Prisoners and Paupers
Author: Henry Martyn Boies
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
The author examines the correlation between poverty and crime in the late 19th century and recommends resolving the problems through prevention, reformation, and extinction. He offers the idea of prohibiting marriage between criminal and "defective" people as an antidote to the problems of poverty and criminality, saying, "Society must take cognizance of the reproduction of the race and correct the tendencies to degradation, as a measure of self-preservation. It is idle and foolish to waste energy, sympathy, and money in the hopeless effort to cure and restrain what should never have been permitted to exist. Physical degeneration must be corrected to promote regeneration."

City Water, City Life
Author: Carl Smith
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022602251X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
A city is more than a massing of citizens, a layout of buildings and streets, or an arrangement of political, economic, and social institutions. It is also an infrastructure of ideas that are a support for the beliefs, values, and aspirations of the people who created the city. In City Water, City Life, celebrated historian Carl Smith explores this concept through an insightful examination of the development of the first successful waterworks systems in Philadelphia, Boston, and Chicago between the 1790s and the 1860s. By examining the place of water in the nineteenth-century consciousness, Smith illuminates how city dwellers perceived themselves during the great age of American urbanization. But City Water, City Life is more than a history of urbanization. It is also a refreshing meditation on water as a necessity, as a resource for commerce and industry, and as an essential—and central—part of how we define our civilization.
