Investigates the experience of English poverty between 1700 and 1900 and in the ways in which the poor made ends meet. This book attempts to supply the English 'economy of makeshifts' with an empirical basis and to advance the concept of makeshifts from a vague but convenient label to a more precise yet inclusive definition.
