Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the impact of the Poor Law Amendment Act on life in rural communities, taking Ampthill as a case study. The author, who was dispatched by the House of Commons several months after the Act's implementation, travelled to the region and recorded his findings after interviewing workers, farmers, and officials. He reveals that the Act's architects' claim that its workhouses would provide an incentive to work was unfounded, demonstrating that poverty, crime, and social unrest within the community actually worsened. Furthermore, the author's firsthand account sheds light on the lack of employment opportunities and the harsh conditions faced by those living in poverty in rural England during the early 19th century.
