Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the changing systems of poverty relief in England from the Middle Ages through the Tudor period. The author delves into the role of religious institutions in caring for the poor before the Dissolution of the Monasteries, examining how these institutions were both supported and regulated by the crown. The book then chronicles the evolution of secular laws and policies, such as the Statute of Labourers, the Vagrancy Act, and the Poor Law, tracing how these statutes attempted to address the growing problem of poverty and vagrancy. The book highlights a crucial historical shift in social welfare, moving from a system reliant on religious institutions to one built upon state-sanctioned social control and the emergence of local poor relief. Throughout, the author examines the complex interplay of social, economic, and religious factors that shaped the development of poverty relief systems in this period. The book offers a fascinating look into the evolution of social policy in England, revealing the motivations and strategies behind efforts to alleviate poverty and regulate the behavior of the poor. It provides a rich historical context for understanding the enduring challenges and complexities of social welfare systems in the modern world.
