The nineteenth-century rural poor were often neglected both in their own time and since. Drawing heavily on the difficult-to-access pamphlets, reports, periodical literature and political tracts of the day, this groundbreaking, five-volume set reproduces in facsimile a large number of neglected sources relating to rural life in the latter half of the nineteenth century. The bulk of academic attention has been paid to the industrial poor at the expense of the rural poor, on which there is much less published work. This set moves to redress the balance. Complementing earlier "Pickering & Chatto" editions, the extremely rare texts chosen for this authoritative selection provide evidence for historians working on many aspects of rural England and allow the reader to examine the diverse and complicated ways in which rural England was represented in this period. Alongside a wealth of new editorial matter, this original and ambitious set closely examines subjects as disparate as the employment of women in rural England, the social relationships within rural communities, the role of the clergy in poor relief and local philanthropy, the impact of rural depopulation, and other features of rural history. It will be of interest to scholars in nineteenth-century studies and to all social historians. Full editorial apparatus includes a general introduction to the set in the first volume and fully consolidated index in the final volume.
