Petty Tyranny and Oppression: Workhouse Lives Under the Long Nineteenth-Century Poor Laws
Paul Carter
This book focuses the exercise of petty tyranny by officials on the workhouse poor in England and Wales. It examines the period from the late-eighteenth-century crisis of the Old Poor Law, through the adoption of the New Poor Law reform in 1834, the loosening of the ‘principles of 1834’ in the 1890s, to the eve of World War I.
