That ‘poor law was law’ is a fact that has slipped from the consciousness of historians of welfare in England and Wales, and in North America. Welfare's Forgotten Past remedies this situation by tracing the history of the legal right of the settled poor to relief when destitute. Poor law was not simply local custom, but consisted of legal rights, duties and obligations that went beyond social altruism. This legal ‘truth’ is, however, still ignored or rejected by some historians, and thus ‘lost’ to social welfare policy-makers. This forgetting or minimising of a legal, enforceable right to relief has not only led to a misunderstanding of welfare’s past; it has also contributed to the stigmatisation of poverty, and the emergence and persistence of the idea that its relief is a 'gift' from the state. Documenting the history and the effects of this forgetting, whilst also providing a ‘legal’ history of welfare, Lorie Charlesworth argues that it is timely for social policy-makers and reformists – in Britain, the United States and elsewhere – to reconsider an alternative welfare model, based on the more positive, legal aspects of welfare’s 400-year legal history.

They have taken more than twelve years to collect, and, if, after all, they shall seem trivial and unimportant, compared with the amount of time and labour which it has cost to gather them together, my apology for publishing them must be that the ground has not been thoroughly worked before. I do not pretend to enunciate a political principle or advocate a social theory; I merely attempt to decipher some facts from the life of the people of England in the dimness of a forgotten past. My acknowledgments are due to the officials of the Public Record Office for much courtesy and help received from them in the Search Room in London, and I venture to express regret that so little attention has been yet directed to the Archives of the 15th century, especially since the publication of the valuable series of Original Letters, edited under the direction of the Master of the Rolls, by the Rev. F. C. Hingeston, some twenty-four years ago. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This new paperback delves into England’s forgotten history bringing to light some of the most colorful characters and intriguing episodes of English life. England is a small country with a big history. Unfortunately, of the millions of people who have collectively made the nation what it is, the history books remember only a handful. Along the way, we lose sight of some of the most colorful characters and intriguing episodes of English life. Did you know that for three centuries no king of England spoke English as his first language? Or that Charles II spent two million pounds trying to build an English settlement in Tangiers? Can you say where England’s bloodiest battle took place? Or how the legend of King Arthur came about? If not, England’s Forgotten Past is the book for you. An entertaining tour through the forgotten episodes of English history, this new paperback edition tells a wide range of informative stories, from rogue elements in the royal family to the celebrities of yesteryear. It also looks at the everyday lives of ordinary people—those who manned the ships, worked the land, and fought the wars. Packed with fascinating facts, amusing anecdotes, tales of derring-do, and the occasional villain, England’s Forgotten Past will delight anyone interested in the rich untold history of England.

Why did the Romans never try to conquer Ireland? Why did the King of Spain give his name to an Irish county? And how did brandy change the course of Irish history? Turtle Bunbury explores unexpected corners of the past to offer an informative and entertaining glimpse into 36 lesser-known tales from Irish history, from the eruption of a massive volcano in County Armagh sixty million years ago to more recent events that have made Ireland the vibrant place it is today. In his inimitable sparkly style, Bunbury explores the people and events from high to low that played major roles in Ireland's fascinating past but have since been overlooked. These alternative annals include tales of spymasters and scientists, battlefields and brothels, tailors and traitors. Ireland's Forgotten Past paints a surprising, witty and engaging new portrait of an Ireland you thought you knew. With 37 illustrations

History cannot tell us about everything that has ever happened and what it can tell us is but a tiny fraction of everything that has ever happened. Andrew Vinken examines the history we do know about, but which has been largely forgotten. Kings and queens and famous places do make occasional appearances, but they do so in secondary roles. The stories that are included in this volume are about people and places that, for the most part, do not spring readily to mind, but which, partly because of their obscurity, form fascinating tales nonetheless. In volume two of The Forgotten Past, Andrew Vinken continues to explore the history that did not make it into the school curriculum, predominantly focussing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

From the mid-eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century, the English Old Poor Law was waning, soon to be replaced by the New Poor Law and its dreaded workhouses. In Writing the Lives of the English Poor, 1750s-1830s Steven King reveals colourful stories of poor people, their advocates, and the officials with whom they engaged during this period in British history, distilled from the largest collection of parochial correspondence ever assembled. Investigating the way that people experienced and shaped the English and Welsh welfare system through the use of almost 26,000 pauper letters and the correspondence of overseers in forty-eight counties, Writing the Lives of the English Poor, 1750s-1830s reconstructs the process by which the poor claimed, extended, or defended their parochial allowances. Challenging preconceptions about literacy, power, social structure, and the agency of ordinary people, these stories suggest that advocates, officials, and the poor shared a common linguistic register and an understanding of how far welfare decisions could be contested and negotiated. King shifts attention away from traditional approaches to construct an unprecedented, comprehensive portrait of poor law administration and popular writing at the turn of the nineteenth century. At a time when the western European welfare model is under sustained threat, Writing the Lives of the English Poor, 1750s-1830s takes us back to its deepest roots to demonstrate that the signature of a strong welfare system is malleability.
