Policing the Poor in Eighteenth-Century France
Robert M. Schwartz
Examines the French government's attempts to suppress mendicity from the reign of Louis XIV to the Revolution. Robert Schwartz’s study provides a rich account of the evolution of poverty, the varied and shifting attitudes toward the delinquent poor, and the government's efforts to control mendicity by strengthening the state's repressive machinery during the eighteenth century.
