Описание: A century ago, working class households avoided or coped with poverty without recourse to the state, the Poor Law offering little more than a "safety net". Rather than look for the origins of modern provision, the author casts light on the practices, ideology and outcomes of 19th-century welfare.

Описание: Aston challenges and reshapes the on-going debate concerning social status, economic opportunity, and gender roles in nineteenth-century society. Sources including trade directories, census returns, probate records, newspapers, advertisements, and photographs are analysed and linked to demonstrate conclusively that women in nineteenth-century England were far more prevalent in business than previously acknowledged. Moreover, women were able to establish and expand their businesses far beyond the scope of inter-generational caretakers in sectors of the economy traditionally viewed as unfeminine, and acquire the assets and possessions that were necessary to secure middle-class status. These women serve as a powerful reminder that the middle-class woman’s retreat from economic activity during the nineteenth-century, so often accepted as axiomatic, was not the case. In fact, women continued to act as autonomous and independent entrepreneurs, and used business ownership as a platform to participate in the economic, philanthropic, and political public sphere.

Описание: For most people today a tribunal constitutes their only contact with formal legal adjudication.

Описание: Provides an historical analysis of occupational and social mobility in England. This text shows how the development of the 19th-century economy was accompanied by rising rates of mobility, which made English society more "open" while at the same encouraging a process of working-class formation.
Описание: Underdraining has been recognized as one of the major capital-intensive agricultural improvements of the nineteenth century. Over half the agricultural area of England is subject to waterlogging and is in need of some form of underdraining, rendering the improvement both technically and economically basic to much of English agriculture.
