It looks not only at their struggles with poverty, illness and socio-economic upheavals but also at the strategies of economic survival they adopted. An intensely human picture surfaces of what it was like to experience poverty at a time when the seeds of state social welfare were being planted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 335\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 18, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47515697217757,"sku":"9781843839569","price":75.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/MOdfa20ZLv9781843839569.webp?v=1783548676","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/the-first-century-of-welfare-poverty-and-poor-relief-in-lancashire-1620-1730-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
