Abstract:

The vast majority of documentary evidence relating to workhouses comes from official sources. This article draws on inmates’ own writings and literary productions to offer a fresh perspective on workhouse life and re-consider the capacity of this institution to effectively silence workhouse paupers. It is indeed necessary to consider how this institution could, willingly or unwillingly, create opportunities for inmates to start writing. This article explores the specificities of inmates’ poems; how their relationship with the institution was both internalized and exploited by its residents; an

Abstract:

This essay brings Achille Mbembe’s intellectually trenchant theory of necropower to bear on the early Victorian era’s most despised and iconic institution, known as the workhouse, arguably one of the most preeminent emblems of democracy’s nocturnal body located within Britain. Regarded by many of its critics as enacting the Utilitarian, inhumane, and ‘mechanistic’ treatment of the poor (Crowther, ‘Workhouse’ 194), the workhouse was frequently portrayed using the Gothic mode as a necropolitical institution, a death manufactory that monstrously combined prison, factory, asylum, slaughterhouse, a

Abstract:

By using the workhouse of Dresden as a microstudy, this article explores local continuities in postwar East Germany. It argues that this example not only illustrates the persistence of mentalities towards ‘sexual and social deviance’, not least as a legacy of the Third Reich, but also questions the assumption of a strictly centralized state and 1945 as a caesura. In a first step, the article shows the continuity of personnel at the state level, who decided that the workhouse as an institution should have a future in the new East German state after 1945, before revealing that local authorities

Abstract:

This article is a workhouse population study of the Antrim, Ballymena, and Ballymoney Poor Law Unions in County Antrim, Ireland, in 1850–1851 and 1860–1861. Under the Irish Poor Law, the workhouse was the central institution for the welfare of the destitute poor during the nineteenth century. Beyond national trends and a broad regional framework, however, little is known of how workhouse populations varied at the local level or the place of poor relief within the economies of makeshifts of individuals and families. The article draws upon statistical returns to show that changes in the workhous

Abstract:

<em>In the United Kingdom, a poor house was commonly known as a workhouse. But, in India, during the famine of 1860-61, the first poor house was established. It was the most important state-run agency that provided relief to the famine-stricken poor population of the country. The distribution of relief in these poor houses was in the form of cooked food rather than grain or cash.</em>

Abstract:

The Irish workhouse has had a troubled history, attracting mostly negative commentary from the inception of the national poor law system after 1838 to the final abolition of the poor law in Northern Ireland in 1948. The popular historian of the institution opens his account with the bald statement that ‘the workhouse was the most feared and hated institution ever established in Ireland’. While one might quibble with this (the penitentiaries and asylums of the nineteenth century were surely as much feared, and perhaps with more reason; the record of the industrial schools and Magdalene asylums

Abstract:

In recent years there has been growing acknowledgement of the place of workhouses within the range of institutional provision for mentally disordered people in nineteenth-century England. This article explores the situation in Bristol, where an entrenched workhouse-based model was retained for an extended period in the face of mounting external ideological and political pressures to provide a proper lunatic asylum. It signified a contest between the modernising, reformist inclinations of central state agencies and local bodies seeking to retain their freedom of action. The conflict exposed con

Abstract:

Following the implementation of legislation in 1845 which required every county and borough throughout England and Wales to build an institution for the treatment of mentally ill paupers, there was a surge in the number of people classed as insane. This created situations of overcrowding, and pauper lunatics were constantly pushed and pulled between the asylum and the workhouse in an attempt to alleviate pressure on accommodation. This paper explores the experience of pauper lunatic patients at the County Asylum of Cumberland and Westmorland, and recounts the experience of its pauper patients

Abstract:

AbstractIn the latter decades of the eighteenth century, thousands of inmates were sentenced to the prison workhouse at Christianshavn for crimes ranging from begging and vagrancy to theft and even murder. Situated between the system of poor relief and the penal system, the prison was a complicated, almost hybrid institution featuring both disciplinary and caring obligations to its inmates. Although the inmates shared a common relationship to the authorities and the same constraints of navigating a system of coercion in their favor, their experiences varied greatly.

Abstract:

This chapter shows that the workhouse was the single biggest category of institutional engagement by parish officers. In turn, most workhouse inmates were sick. Yet the workhouse played a variable part in medical welfare spending in most places. Only in Norfolk was its presence concerted and long-lasting. Over time, the range of engagements between parishes and other types of institution, notably hospitals, expanded massively. By the 1820s an institutional sojourn became an anticipated and expected parish response to sickness.

Abstract:

This chapter describes the abjection that is associated with late life frailty. Abjection refers to the collective distaste and shame associated with any devalued condition, status or position within society. Drawing upon the history of the ‘old’ abject classes, for whom the poorhouse or the workhouse served as their symbolic institution, it is argued that the successful dismantling of those institutions and the near elimination of abject or extreme poverty has since seen a ‘new’ abject class emerge, made up of the frail and most dependent persons, largely very old and very infirm people.

Abstract ‘Abandon hope all ye who enter here’ was George Lansbury’s verdict as a newly elected guardian after his first memorable visit to the workhouse in Poplar High Street in 1893 revealed its formidable Bastille-like environment. Sick and aged, mentally deficient, lunatics, babies and children, as well as the able-bodied and vagrants, were all crowded together in the single institution which was the hated symbol of the Victorian poor law. Throughout his life Lansbury was more popularly linked with the battle to end working-class poverty, destitution, and un employment than any other cause.

This chapter describes how the newly divorced Josephine Fagan McCarty returned to Philadelphia in the summer of 1858. Like most female medical school graduates, she faced the overwhelming challenge of finding hands-on clinical experience. However, she had not technically graduated; to get experience in hands-on patient care, she would need to find an institution as desperate for her services as she was for training. Josephine went to Philadelphia's public almshouse: a sprawling institution that was at once workhouse, hospital, jail, and asylum. The people of Philadelphia called it Blockley Hos
