And yet the aptly named Hungry 40s came amidst claims that, notwithstanding Malthusian prophecies, absolute biological want had been eliminated in England. The eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries were supposedly the period in which the threat of famine lifted for the peoples of England. But hunger remained, in the words of Marx, an unremitted pressure. The politics of hunger offers the first systematic analysis of the ways in which hunger continued to be experienced and feared, both as a lived and constant spectral presence. It also examines how hunger was increasingly used as a disciplining device in new modes of governing the population. Drawing upon a rich archive, this innovative and conceptually-sophisticated study throws new light on how hunger persisted as a political and biological force. 606 $aHunger$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aHunger$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPoverty$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPoverty$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y19th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y18th century 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aEighteenth century. 610 $aEngland. 610 $aFood riots. 610 $aHunger. 610 $aNineteenth century. 610 $aProtest. 610 $aRural. 610 $aSocial policy. 610 $aSpeenhamland. 610 $aWorkhouse. 610 $aZero hunger. 615 0$aHunger$xHistory 615 0$aHunger$xHistory 615 0$aPoverty$xHistory 615 0$aPoverty$xHistory 676 $a362.5094209033 700 $aGriffin$b Carl J$g(Carl James),$01543945 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910794077103321 996 $aThe politics of hunger$93797751 997 $aUNINA
