The phrase 'economy of makeshifts' has often been used to summarise the patchy, desperate and sometimes failing strategies of the poor for material survival. Incomes or benefits derived from such strategies allegedly ranged from wages supported by under-employment via petty crime through to charity, but allusions to this array of makeshifts usually fall short of answering vital questions about how and when the poor secured access to them. This book represents the single most significant attempt in print to supply the English 'economy of makeshifts' with a solid, empirical basis and to advance the concept of makeshifts from a vague but convenient label to a more precise yet inclusive definition. Individual chapters written by some of the leading, young historians of welfare examine how advantages gained from access to common land, mobilisation of kinship support, resorting to crime, and other marginal resources could prop up struggling households. They suggest how the balance of these strategies might change over time or be modified by gender, life-cycle and geography. A comprehensive introduction summarises the state of research on English poverty, and a thought-provoking conclusion makes valuable suggestions for the direction of future research. This book will be crucial for historians of social life and welfare, of interest to researchers working on eighteenth- /nineteenth- century England and will be useful to undergraduates seeking guidance on the historiography of poverty. lok: 48314594 3 exp: 48314594 3 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.756 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362204 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 5 exp: 48314594 5 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.765 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362212 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 8 exp: 48314594 8 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.773 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362220 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 10 exp: 48314594 10 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.782 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362239 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 11 exp: 48314594 11 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.790 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362247 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 13 exp: 48314594 13 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.798 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362255 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 21 exp: 48314594 21 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.813 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362271 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 23 exp: 48314594 23 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.822 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0116336228X 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 24 exp: 48314594 24 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.830 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362298 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 25 exp: 48314594 25 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.839 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362301 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 36 exp: 48314594 36 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.847 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $0116336231X 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 51 exp: 48314594 51 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.863 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362336 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 59 exp: 48314594 59 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.880 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362352 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 75 exp: 48314594 75 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.896 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362379 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 107 exp: 48314594 107 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.915 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362387 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 108 exp: 48314594 108 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.923 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362395 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 204 exp: 48314594 204 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.931 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362409 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH lok: 48314594 205 exp: 48314594 205 1 #EPN 201B/01 $004-08-21 $t23:31:50.939 201C/01 $004-08-21 201U/01 $0utf8 203@/01 $01163362417 208@/01 $a04-08-21 $bl 209S/01 $S0 $uhttp://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/34997 $XH
