Ideas of Poverty in the Age of Enlightenment
This excellent collection of essays originated at a conference held at King’s College London in September 2018. The essays cover a variety of chronological and regional contexts across Enlightenment Europe, but they are held together by a shared sense of purpose: to enhance social historians’ engagement with the intellectual history of the era, and to ensure that intellectual historians pay sufficient attention to Enlightenment debates on poverty…
The purposeful workhouse of England's Old Poor Law
It has long been recognized that the English workhouses of the Old Poor Law era (1601-1834) were important precursors to institutions of the modern social services, but what kind of places were they? Characterized by eighteenth-century humanitarians as 'pauper prisons', and by early nineteenth-century political economists as 'pauper palaces', workhouses were undoubtedly varied institutions with hybrid regimes that included both care and work, nur…
Instructing the Young and Comforting the Aged in the Norwich and Norfolk Institution for the Indigent Blind, ca. 1805–55
This article considers the ways that Enlightenment ideas and practices shaped the founding of the Norwich and Norfolk Institution for the Indigent Blind, and then analyzes the disparate approaches to the aged versus the working-age blind in its first half-century ( ca. 1805–55). While we see change over time, we also find distinctive continuity in the ongoing close connections inmates kept with Norwich civic life and family and friends; this was …

Reconsidering Poor Law Institutions by Virtually Reconstructing and Re-Viewing an Eighteenth-Century Workhouse
There is a fine timber moulded cornice in a front room of the building that was once the House of Industry at Gressenhall, Norfolk, while along the eastern wing of the building one can still see the architectural features of an elegant open arcade. Why were such features included on a structure built to keep the poor at work, where residents spent their days making sacks, spinning, and working in the farm fields that surrounded the institution? C…
Marjorie Keniston MCINTOSH. Poor Relief in England, 1350-1600
The history of poverty and poor relief in English history has long been blessed by twin fortunes. Since the time of Sidney and Beatrice Webb, England's finest social historians have provided provocative and sweeping analyses of England's unique poor relief system. At the same time, because the surviving source materials from the poor laws are so rich, local historians and narrowly focused monographs have meticulously recreated the local experienc…
Medicine and Old Age
This article attempts to pull together recent developments and to summarize our knowledge of old age. It primarily focuses on the history of ageing in the West and compares it with other cultures. It concerns the limits and possible extension of the human life span. It includes discussion almost exclusively on male ageing. There are a few medical texts written specifically on female ageing and these focus primarily on menopause. Most studies of t…

The Long History of Old Age
This superbly illustrated collection of essays covers the history of old age in the West from antiquity through to the twentieth century. Pat Thane has brought together a group of well established scholars, all of whom have already made significant contributions to the history of ageing: Tim Parkin, Shulamith Shahar, Lynn Botelho, David Troyansky, Thomas Cole, and Claudia Edwards. The essays are bound together in a compelling but not restrictive …
Histoire des populations et histoire des savoirs demographiques
Providing for the elderly in eighteenth-century England
In 1776, in the parish of Puddletown, Dorset, Sarah Dibben, an elderly, impoverished widow, was examined as to her place of settlement by the local justice of the peace to determine whether the parish should pay for her poor relief. At the same time, the JP interviewed her son, Melchizedeck, with whom Sarah had been living, to shed further light on Sarah's situation. Melchizedeck told the justice that because Sarah was his mother he ‘thought it h…
