Nur ‚wilde Handlung‘ oder doch ‚Revolution‘
Poor Yield of a Rich Field
The new Routledge History of Poverty, c. 1450-1800 provides neither a ‘history’ nor a coherent concept of ‘poverty’ and rests on an inappropriate time scale. However, a closer discussion of these flaws enables a more consistent perspective, based on the idea that the interplay of ‘labour’ and ‘poverty’ (epitomized in the notion of the ‘labouring poor’) forms the crucial key to the understanding of the decisive long-term theme in the history of po…

Negotiating a Living
Research undertaken over the last generation has greatly enhanced our understanding of the survival strategies of the labouring poor in early modern Europe. Under economic conditions where poverty was endemic, most families were forced to take to various forms of work and to draw on whatever forms of income were available. Whether among small peasants, proto-industrial producers, landless labourers or casual workers, their mere subsistence depend…

Household and Family among the Poor
The Pauper Household Small and Simple
Within the literature on household and family in past time it has become accepted wisdom that the households of the poor were particularly small in size and simple in structure. There is good reason, however, to call this view in question. First, a critical reassessment of the two types of source material which have hitherto been used to substantiate this view leaves serious doubts as to their suitability for a statistical analysis of pauper hous…
