Reviews

“This book is important for the fresh sources it uncovers, the methods it combines, and its core arguments. … This study suggests many promising paths for further research, and scholars of the Poor Law, poverty, welfare, and the press will find it valuable reading. I think it would also be an excellent book to teach about historiography, historical methods, and, of course, the Poor Law.” (Marjorie Levine-Clark, Victorian Studies, Vol. 64 (4), 2022)
