Power and pauperism : the workhouse system, 1834-1884
Power and Pauperism aims to provide a new perspective on the place of the workhouse in the history and geography of nineteenth-century society and social policy. Dr Driver demonstrates that despite appearances the workhouse system was far from monolithic, and that official policy was beset with conflict.
