520    "Tracing the experiences of poor people through their own 
       words, Writing the Lives of the English Poor offers a 
       history of the Old Poor Law from below. Steven King shifts
       attention from traditional approaches to welfare history, 
       broadly "who got what, when," and reconstructs the process
       by which the poor claimed, extended or defended their 
       parochial allowances. Colorful stories and histories of 
       ordinary writers, their advocates and the officials with 
       whom they engaged are distilled from the largest 
       collection of parochial correspondence ever assembled and 
       stand at the heart of this rethinking of English welfare 
       history. A telling of these stories suggests that 
       advocates, officials and the poor shared a common 
       linguistic register and understanding of how far welfare 
       decisions could be contested and negotiated. All 
       participants in the tri-partite epistolary world of the 
       parish colluded in the production of fictive accounts of 
       suffering and this tolerance of fiction stood at the heart
       of the longevity of the Old Poor Law. Ranging the 
       rhetorical infrastructure of pauper letters, Steven King 
       constructs the relief decisions reported in end-of-process
       accounts as the outcome of a complex train of claims-
       making and contestation. At a time when the western 
       European welfare model is under sustained threat, this 
       book takes us back to its deepest roots and argues that 
       the signature of a strong welfare system is that rules on 
       entitlement must be, and must be seen to be, malleable."--
