Chronicling Poverty
The Voices and Strategies of the English Poor, 1640-1840
Langbeschreibung
Over the last twenty years more and more historians of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries have turned their eyes away from the records of central administration, towards local archives, and the lives of the poor. What they have found is a wealth of sources some of which chronicle the lives, and many of which record the words, of working people. This book will bring together some of the best work based on these sources.
Hauptbeschreibung
Since the mid-1970s many historians of the 18th and early-19th century have found sources in local archives which chronicle the lives, and many which record the words, of working people. This book brings together some of the work based on these sources.
