Pauper Letter Writers, Public Opinion, and the Workhouse Experience -- 4. Bearing Witness. 330 $aThis book represents the first attempt to identify and describe a workhouse reform 'movement' in mid- to late-nineteenth-century England, beyond the obvious candidates of the Workhouse Visiting Society and the voices of popular critics such as Charles Dickens and Florence Nightingale. It is a subject on which the existing workhouse literature is largely silent, and this book therefore fills a considerable gap in our understanding of contemporary attitudes towards institutional welfare. Although many scholars have touched on the more obvious strands of workhouse criticism noted above, few have gone beyond these to explore the possibility that a concerted 'movement' existed that sought to place pressure on those with responsibility for workhouse administration, and to influence the trajectory of workhouse policy. 410 0$aPalgrave pivot. 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aSocial History 606 $aCultural History 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aSocial History. 615 24$aCultural History. 676 $a362.5830942 676 $a900 700 $aJones$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0369564 702 $aKing$b Steven$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910416089303321 996 $aPauper Voices, Public Opinion and Workhouse Reform in Mid-Victorian England$92134028 997 $aUNINA
