Recreates an image of life for infant and child paupers under the Old Poor Law from 1780 until 1834 and in the thirteen Worcestershire Poor Law Unions from 1834 to 1871. The author examines the way in which children were treated, educated, and trained, by whom they were cared for, and the outcome of their treatment. He investigates whether the treatment of such children followed the Principles of Uniformity and Less Eligibility and demonstrates the lifelong influence of the workhouse on its child inmates.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. As new, no wear. Quite clean. 'Several generations of the English working class grew up in the shadow of the workhouse, with those individuals who were in insecure employment, badly paid, or unfortunate enough to be widowed, orphaned or deserted, fearing incarceration there and thus being tainted by the epithet pauper. Children formed the largest group of indoor paupers in Victorian England yet their story has never been fully told. Using one county's experience to illuminate national trends, this book investigates the treatment of children in the workhouses of the thirteen Worcestershire Poor Law Unions, in the period 1834 to 1871, although it also refers to their situation between 1780 and 1834, in an attempt to recreate a detailed image of life for infant and child pauper inmates.'
