Samenvatting
The Poor Laws in the United Kingdom left a built and material legacy of over two centuries of legislative provision for the poor and infirm. Workhouses represent the first centralized, state-organized system for welfare. This volume forms a social archaeology of the lived experience of poverty and health in the nineteenth century.
