It is well written and researched and contains important new findings on several key topics that have largely been ignored by historians.' Dr Joseph Harley , Reviews in History 'Samantha Shave has written one of the most original books on the English Poor Law in years: she has taken topics we thought we knew well, such as Gilbert's Act, and given them new and insightful treatment.' Professor Alannah Tomkins, Keele University, Rural History, (2018) 'What emerges from this exceptionally rich and detailed research is a thorough and grounded understanding of how poor law administration developed across large swathes of southern England stretching from Sussex in the east through to Somerset in the west. It is a very significant and highly original contribution to an already considerable body of work on the English poor law.' Professor David Green, King's College London -- .
