Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In a provocative study that bristles with contemporary relevance, Himmelfarb demonstrates that the material and moral dimensions of poverty were inseparable in the minds of late Victorians, be they radical or conservative. Examines the work and thought of reformers, social critics, and philanthropists in late-nineteenth-century England to provide insights into how poverty was regarded.
